RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

  • Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.

  • API: The API that you can call to perform the action.

  • Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.

  • Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.

    • For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.

    • For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.

  • Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.

  • Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.

Request parameters

Parameter

Type

Required

Description

Example

RegionId

string

Yes

The region ID of the BGP group.

You can call the DescribeRegions API to obtain the region ID.

cn-shanghai

BgpGroupId

string

Yes

The ID of the BGP group.

bgpg-wz9f62v4fbg****

PeerIpAddress

string

No

The IP address of the BGP peer.

116.62.XX.XX

EnableBfd

boolean

No

Specifies whether to enable Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD). Valid values:

  • true: enables BFD.

  • false: disables BFD.

true

ClientToken

string

No

The client token that is used to ensure the idempotence of the request.

The client generates the value of this parameter. Make sure that the value is unique among different requests. The maximum length is 64 ASCII characters.

Note

If you do not specify this parameter, the system uses the RequestId of the API request as the ClientToken. The RequestId of each API request is different.

123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426655440000

IpVersion

string

No

The IP version. Valid values:

  • IPv4 (default): IPv4.

  • IPv6: IPv6. IPv6 is supported only when the VBR on which the BGP group is created has IPv6 enabled.

IPv4

BfdMultiHop

integer

No

The BFD hop count. Valid values: 1 to 255.

This parameter is required when BFD is enabled. Specify the BFD hop count, which is the maximum number of devices that data passes through from the source to the destination. You can configure different hop counts based on actual physical link factors.

Note

When you use BFD in a multi-cloud environment or a fiber direct connect network without any bridging devices in between, you need to change the default BFD hop count from 255 to 1.
