BGP templates
FortiManager includes Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) templates allowing you to provision BGP settings across multiple FortiGate devices.
|
BGP templates support the use of Device VDOM meta variables in the following places: router prefix-list, router-id, neighbor-range ( prefix ), router-map ( match-ip-address ), neighbor, and network ( prefix ). |
To create a BGP template:
- Go to Device Manager > Provisioning Templates > BGP Template.
- Click Create New in the toolbar.
- In the Create BGP Template pane, configure the following settings:
Name Enter a name for the BGP template. Local AS Enter the Local AS. Router ID Enter the Router ID. Neighbors Click Create New to add a BGP neighbor.
Neighbor Group The BGP neighbor group feature allows a large number of neighbors to be configured automatically based on a range of neighbors' source addresses.
Click Create New to add a BGP neighbor group.
Neighbor Ranges
Configure the neighbor ranges to be used by neighbor groups.
Click Create New to add a neighbor range and select the neighbor group to which the range applies.
