Creates a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) group for a virtual border router (VBR).

BGP groups allow VBRs to communicate with data centers. Each BGP group is associated with a VBR. You can add a BGP peer that needs to communicate with a VBR to the corresponding BGP group and advertise the BGP network in the VBR.

BGP groups are used to simplify BGP configurations. You can save time and effort by adding BGP peers that use the same configurations to one BGP group. You must use an autonomous system (AS) number to create a BGP group.

When you call this operation, take note of the following limits:

  • Only BGP4 is supported by the BGP groups.
  • BGP groups support IPv4 BGP. IPv6 BGP is not supported.

Debugging

OpenAPI Explorer automatically calculates the signature value. For your convenience, we recommend that you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer. OpenAPI Explorer dynamically generates the sample code of the operation for different SDKs.

Request parameters

Parameter Type Required Example Description
Action String Yes CreateBgpGroup

The operation that you want to perform.

Set the value to CreateBgpGroup.

PeerAsn Long Yes 1111

The AS number of the BGP peer.
RegionId String Yes cn-shanghai

The ID of the region where the BGP group is deployed.

You can call the DescribeRegions operation to query region IDs.

RouterId String Yes vrt-bp1lhl0taikrtee******

The ID of the VBR.

Name String No test

The name of the BGP group. The name must be 2 to 128 characters in length and can contain digits, periods (.), underscores (_), and hyphens (-). The name must start with a letter but cannot start with http:// or https://.

Description String No BGP

The description of the BGP group. The description must be 2 to 256 characters in length. It must start with a letter but cannot start with http:// or https://.

LocalAsn Long No 443

The AS number on the Alibaba Cloud side.
AuthKey String No ! PWZ2wsq

The authentication key of the BGP group.

IsFakeAsn Boolean No true

A router that runs BGP typically belongs to only one AS. In some cases, for example, the AS needs to be migrated or is merged with another AS, a new AS number replaces the original one.

ClientToken String No 02fb3da4-130e-11e9-8e44-0016e04115b

The client token that is used to ensure the idempotence of the request. You can use the client to generate the value, but you must ensure that it is unique among different requests. The token can contain only ASCII characters and cannot exceed 64 characters in length.

Response parameters

Parameter Type Example Description
BgpGroupId String bgpg-2zendnzngq9lkjkhvlrsr

The ID of the BGP group.
RequestId String C1221A1F-2ACD-4592-8F27-474E02883159

The ID of the request.
