fabric-color

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Specify a fabric color to a single-hop external BGP (EBGP) neighbor at the global, group or neighbor level. When a neighbor is colored, only routes with the same color or uncolored routes are allowed to be advertised via this neighbor. A route with no color community assigned can be advertised over any colored or uncolored EBGP sessions. If there is a color mismatch on the receiver side, the receiver marks the route as hidden.

BGP deterministic path forwarding (DPF) divides a physical fabric into multiple logical fabrics, where different flows are mapped to different logical fabrics. For example, if a link belongs to the red fabric, the EBGP session over the link is assigned a red BGP color community.
