BGP route policy attribute reference

communities

List of communities attributed to the BGP route

destination

IP range for the BGP route

communities.matchesEvery('65001:1234')

Returns true if communities are a superset of the list '65001:1234'.

A community_value is a 32-bit field divided into two 16-bit sections. Conventionally, the first 16-bits of the value encode the autonomous system (AS) number of the network that the community originates from, but Cloud Router doesn't enforce this convention. The second 16-bits of the value encode a unique number assigned by the originating AS.

Restricted to import only.

destination == '192.168.0.0/24'

Returns true if a BGP route matches with 192.168.0.0/24 (exact match).

destination != '192.168.0.0/24'

Returns true if a BGP route doesn't match 192.168.0.0/24 (exact match).

destination.inAnyRange(r)

Returns true if a BGP route is in the range r, where r is one of the following:

• A string with a CIDER-encoded prefix, such as 192.168.0.0/24.
• The abstract type returned by prefix(), or one of the fluent methods that you can call on prefix(), such as longer().
• A heterogeneous list where each element must be either of the values previously described.

Negatable with !.

prefix('192.168.0.0/24')

Returns a prefix object representing the CIDR range 192.168.0.0/24, used with destination.inAnyRange().

prefix('192.168.0.0/24').longer()

Returns a prefix range object that's a copy of prefix() with the end of the range set to the input prefix's per-address family max (/32 or /128), and the start of the range set to the input prefix's length plus one.

prefix().orLonger()

Returns a prefix range object that's a copy of prefix() with the end of the range set to the input prefix's per-address family max (/32 or /128).

prefix().lengthRange(20, 30)

Returns a prefix range object that's a copy of prefix() with the start of the range set to /20, and the end set to /30.

prefix().upTo(30)

Returns a prefix range object that's a copy of prefix() with the end of the range set to the input prefix's /30.

x || y

Return true if either x or y is true.

x and y must be boolean expressions that use either the communities or the destination attribute.

Export and Import

accept()

Accepts the BGP route, and stop further evaluation of BGP route policies or terms, including any actions that come after this one.

drop()

Filters out the BGP route, and stops further evaluation of BGP policies or terms, including any actions that come after this one.

nextPolicy()

Stops the execution of remaining terms in this BGP route policy (including any actions after this term), and moves on to the next applied BGP route policy (if any).

asPath.prependSequence([1, 2, 3])

Prepends a list of AS numbers to the AS-PATH attribute, as a sequence.

The arguments must be integers within the range of 32-bits.

communities.add('65001:1234')

Adds the community value to the list of communities.

The community value can be a single community or a list.

Any community values that are private communities mapped to the following Google-owned ASNs are ignored by Cloud Router:

communities.remove('65001:1234')

Removes the community value from the list of communities.

The community value can be a single community or a list.
