About the Peer Setting Page

To access the Peer Setting page, click Management > Dynamic Topology > Peer Setting.

Peer Setting provides a centralized interface to configure and manage Routing Director's dynamic topology settings. When you configure dynamic topology, Routing Director captures real-time changes in your network. The topology-related data must be up to date if you want to filter out unwanted nodes in your network.

In the Peer Setting page, you can add new dynamic topology configurations. Additionally, you can edit or delete the existing dynamic topology configurations. You can set up multiple BGP LS peering sessions where each peer can have a distinct Autonomous System (AS) number. This capability allows the Routing Director to learn the network topology information.

Tasks You Can Perform

You can perform the following tasks from this page:

  • View details of dynamic topologies—You can view the list of all the dynamic topologies that you have configured and their details as displayed in Table 1.

  • Add a Dynamic topology setting, see Add a Dynamic Topology Setting.

  • Edit a Dynamic topology setting—To edit a dynamic topology setting, select the dynamic topology setting and click the Edit (Pencil) icon. After you edit, click Save to save the dynamic topology setting. A message is displayed confirming that the Dynamic topology setting is updated successfully.

  • Delete a Dynamic topology setting—To delete a dynamic topology setting, select the dynamic topology setting and click the Delete (Dustbin) icon. The Confirm Delete pop-up appears. Click Yes to delete the dynamic topology setting. The setting is deleted and removed from the Peer Setting page.

    Note: Deleting a dynamic topology setting disables dynamic topology. Once disabled, Routing Director will no longer receive live updates from the network.

Field Descriptions

Table 1 lists the fields on the Peer Setting page.

Table 1: Fields on the Peer Setting Page

Field

Description

BGP-LS Peer Address

Displays the IPv4 address of the node for Routing Director to establish a BGP-LS peering session.

BGP-LS Peer AS

Displays the BGP-LS peer AS (autonomous system) number.

The BGP-LS Peer AS number identifies the peer’s autonomous system for establishing BGP-LS sessions.
