neighbor redirect-peering

Redirects a BGP peering to a different IP address and port, for testing the CNA image without multiple routers.

neighbor <address> redirect-peering <new-address> <port>
 
no neighbor <address> redirect-peering
 

• address--IP address of the BGP peer
• new-address--new IP address to be used for testing
• port--port on new-address device to be used for testing; range: 1024 through 65535

Must be in BGP configuration mode (config-engine-bgp), which requires privileged-level access.

Use once per BGP peer.

When testing an CNA image, it is often useful to test multiple BGP peerings without dedicating multiple routers to the test.

Avaya engineers use the neighbor redirect-peerings command to redirect the configured peerings to multiple ports on a single interface.

The no form of the command removes the redirection from the peering.
