BMP Monitoring Station

The following section shows how to configure BMP basics, how to verify functionality and presents essential components of the plugin. Next samples demonstrate the plugin’s runtime configuration capability.

The monitoring station is responsible for received BMP PDUs processing and storage. The default BMP server is listening at port 12345.

Configuration

This section shows the way to configure the BMP monitoring station via REST API.

Monitoring station configuration

In order to change default’s BMP monitoring station configuration, use following request.

URL: /rests/data/odl-bmp-monitor-config:odl-bmp-monitors/bmp-monitor-config/example-bmp-monitor

Method: PUT

Content-Type: application/xml

Request Body:

1<bmp-monitor-config xmlns="urn:opendaylight:params:xml:ns:yang:bmp-monitor-config">
2   <monitor-id>example-bmp-monitor</monitor-id>
3   <server>
4      <binding-port>12345</binding-port>
5      <binding-address>0.0.0.0</binding-address>
6   </server>
7</bmp-monitor-config>

@line 4: binding-port - The BMP server listening port.

@line 5: binding-address - The BMP server biding address.

Note

User may create multiple BMP monitoring station instances at runtime.

Active mode configuration

In order to enable active connection, use following request.

URL: /rests/data/odl-bmp-monitor-config:odl-bmp-monitors/bmp-monitor-config/example-bmp-monitor

Method: PUT

Content-Type: application/xml

Request Body:

 1<bmp-monitor-config xmlns="urn:opendaylight:params:xml:ns:yang:bmp-monitor-config">
 2   <monitor-id>example-bmp-monitor</monitor-id>
 3   <server>
 4      <binding-port>12345</binding-port>
 5      <binding-address>0.0.0.0</binding-address>
 6   </server>
 7   <monitored-router>
 8      <address>192.0.2.2</address>
 9      <port>1234</port>
10      <active>true</active>
11   </monitored-router>
12</bmp-monitor-config>

@line 8: address - The monitored router’s IP address.

@line 9: port - The monitored router’s port.

@line 10: active - Active mode set.

Note

User may configure active session establishment for multiple monitored routers.

MD5 authentication configuration

In order to enable active connection, use following request.

URL: /rests/data/odl-bmp-monitor-config:odl-bmp-monitors/bmp-monitor-config/example-bmp-monitor

Method: PUT

Content-Type: application/xml

Request Body:

 1<bmp-monitor-config xmlns="urn:opendaylight:params:xml:ns:yang:bmp-monitor-config">
 2   <monitor-id>example-bmp-monitor</monitor-id>
 3   <server>
 4      <binding-port>12345</binding-port>
 5      <binding-address>0.0.0.0</binding-address>
 6   </server>
 7   <monitored-router>
 8      <address>192.0.2.2</address>
 9      <password>changeme</password>
10   </monitored-router>
11</bmp-monitor-config>

@line 8: address - The monitored router’s IP address.

@line 9: password - The TCP MD5 signature.

BMP Monitors Configuration Loader

BMP Monitors Configuration Loader allows user to define static initial configuration for a BMP protocol instance. This service will detect the creation of new configuration files following the pattern odl-bmp-monitors-*.xml under the path etc/opendaylight/bgpcep. Once the file is processed, the defined configuration will be available from the configuration Data Store.

Note

If the BMP Monitor instance is already present, no update or configuration will be applied.

PATH: etc/opendaylight/bgpcep/odl-bmp-monitors-config.xml

<odl-bmp-monitors xmlns="urn:opendaylight:params:xml:ns:yang:bmp-monitor-config">
    <bmp-monitor-config>
        <monitor-id>example-bmp-monitor</monitor-id>
        <server>
            <binding-port>12345</binding-port>
            <binding-address>0.0.0.0</binding-address>
        </server>
    </bmp-monitor-config>
</odl-bmp-monitors>

BMP Monitor Configuration Example

BGP provides a feature providing a BMP Monitor configuration file example. Once feature is installed defined configuration will be loaded and setup.

feature:install odl-bgpcep-bmp-config-example
