xcsh_bgp_routing_policy (Data Source)

Retrieves information about a BGP Routing Policy resource in F5 Distributed Cloud for bgp routing policy is a list of rules containing match criteria and action to be applied. these rules help control routes which are imported or exported to bgp peers. configuration. This is a read-only data source.

~> Note: For more information, see the F5 Distributed Cloud API documentation.

-> Syntax Rule: This provider uses OneOf groups for mutually exclusive options. Fields documented as “Optional Block” use block syntax field_name { ... }. Empty OneOf object attributes use field_name = {}; conditional selection uses condition ? {} : null. Boolean attributes (such as add_hsts and http_redirect) use = true or = false.

🔶 High Risk Operations — Some operations on this resource have high danger level. Destructive operations may require confirmation.

• name - Required String
Name of the BGPRoutingPolicy

• namespace - Required String
Namespace where the BGPRoutingPolicy exists

In addition to all arguments above, the following attributes are exported:

• annotations - Optional Map
Annotations applied to this resource

• description - Optional String
Description of the BGPRoutingPolicy

• id - Optional String
Unique identifier for the resource

• labels - Optional Map
Labels applied to this resource

• rules - Optional List
BGP Routing policy is composed of one or more rules. Note that the order of rules is critical as rules are applied top to bottom


A rules block supports the following:

• action - Optional String
Action to be enforced if the BGP route matches the rule

• match - Optional String
Predicates which have to match information in route for action to be applied

An action block (within rules) supports the following:

• allow - Optional Object
Enable this option

• as_path - Optional String
AS-Path Prepending is generally used to influence incoming traffic

• community - Optional String
BGP Community list. List of BGP communities

• deny - Optional Object
Enable this option

• local_preference - Optional Number
BGP Local Preference is generally used to influence outgoing traffic

• metric - Optional Number
The Multi-Exit Discriminator metric to indicate the preferred path to AS

A community block (within rules.action) supports the following:

• community - Optional List
Unordered set of RFC 1997 defined 4-byte community, first 16 bits being ASN and lower 16 bits being value

A match block (within rules) supports the following:

• as_path - Optional String
AS path can also be a regex, which will be matched against route information

• community - Optional String
BGP Community list. List of BGP communities

• ip_prefixes - Optional String
List of IP prefix and prefix length range match condition

A community block (within rules.match) supports the following:

• community - Optional List
Unordered set of RFC 1997 defined 4-byte community, first 16 bits being ASN and lower 16 bits being value

An ip_prefixes block (within rules.match) supports the following:

• prefixes - Optional List
Prefix list. List of IP prefix

A prefixes block (within rules.match.ip_prefixes) supports the following:

• equal_or_longer_than - Optional Object
Configuration parameter for equal or longer than

• exact_match - Optional Object
Configuration parameter for exact match

• ip_prefixes - Optional String
IP Prefix. IP prefix to match on BGP route

• longer_than - Optional Object
Configuration parameter for longer than
