Synopsis

Calls the AWS Direct Connect CreateBGPPeer API operation.

Syntax

New-DCBGPPeer
-VirtualInterfaceId <String>
-NewBGPPeer_AddressFamily <AddressFamily>
-NewBGPPeer_AmazonAddress <String>
-NewBGPPeer_Asn <Int32>
-NewBGPPeer_AuthKey <String>
-NewBGPPeer_CustomerAddress <String>
-Select <String>
-PassThru <SwitchParameter>
-Force <SwitchParameter>
-ClientConfig <AmazonDirectConnectConfig>

Description

Creates a BGP peer on the specified virtual interface. You must create a BGP peer for the corresponding address family (IPv4/IPv6) in order to access Amazon Web Services resources that also use that address family. If logical redundancy is not supported by the connection, interconnect, or LAG, the BGP peer cannot be in the same address family as an existing BGP peer on the virtual interface. When creating a IPv6 BGP peer, omit the Amazon address and customer address. IPv6 addresses are automatically assigned from the Amazon pool of IPv6 addresses; you cannot specify custom IPv6 addresses. If you let Amazon Web Services auto-assign IPv4 addresses, a /30 CIDR will be allocated from 169.254.0.0/16. Amazon Web Services does not recommend this option if you intend to use the customer router peer IP address as the source and destination for traffic. Instead you should use RFC 1918 or other addressing, and specify the address yourself. For more information about RFC 1918 see Address Allocation for Private Internets. For a public virtual interface, the Autonomous System Number (ASN) must be private or already on the allow list for the virtual interface.

Parameters

Amazon.PowerShell.Cmdlets.DC.AmazonDirectConnectClientCmdlet.ClientConfig
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
This parameter overrides confirmation prompts to force the cmdlet to continue its operation. This parameter should always be used with caution.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-NewBGPPeer_AddressFamily <AddressFamily>
The address family for the BGP peer.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-NewBGPPeer_AmazonAddress <String>
The IP address assigned to the Amazon interface.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-NewBGPPeer_Asn <Int32>
The autonomous system (AS) number for Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) configuration.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-NewBGPPeer_AuthKey <String>
The authentication key for BGP configuration. This string has a minimum length of 6 characters and and a maximun lenth of 80 characters.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-NewBGPPeer_CustomerAddress <String>
The IP address assigned to the customer interface.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-PassThru <SwitchParameter>
Changes the cmdlet behavior to return the value passed to the VirtualInterfaceId parameter. The -PassThru parameter is deprecated, use -Select '^VirtualInterfaceId' instead. This parameter will be removed in a future version.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Select <String>
Use the -Select parameter to control the cmdlet output. The default value is 'VirtualInterface'. Specifying -Select '*' will result in the cmdlet returning the whole service response (Amazon.DirectConnect.Model.CreateBGPPeerResponse). Specifying the name of a property of type Amazon.DirectConnect.Model.CreateBGPPeerResponse will result in that property being returned. Specifying -Select '^ParameterName' will result in the cmdlet returning the selected cmdlet parameter value.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-VirtualInterfaceId <String>
The ID of the virtual interface.
Required?False
Position?1
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)

Common Credential and Region Parameters

-AccessKey <String>
The AWS access key for the user account. This can be a temporary access key if the corresponding session token is supplied to the -SessionToken parameter.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesAK
-Credential <AWSCredentials>
An AWSCredentials object instance containing access and secret key information, and optionally a token for session-based credentials.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-EndpointUrl <String>
The endpoint to make the call against.Note: This parameter is primarily for internal AWS use and is not required/should not be specified for normal usage. The cmdlets normally determine which endpoint to call based on the region specified to the -Region parameter or set as default in the shell (via Set-DefaultAWSRegion). Only specify this parameter if you must direct the call to a specific custom endpoint.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-NetworkCredential <PSCredential>
Used with SAML-based authentication when ProfileName references a SAML role profile. Contains the network credentials to be supplied during authentication with the configured identity provider's endpoint. This parameter is not required if the user's default network identity can or should be used during authentication.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-ProfileLocation <String>
Used to specify the name and location of the ini-format credential file (shared with the AWS CLI and other AWS SDKs)If this optional parameter is omitted this cmdlet will search the encrypted credential file used by the AWS SDK for .NET and AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio first. If the profile is not found then the cmdlet will search in the ini-format credential file at the default location: (user's home directory)\.aws\credentials.If this parameter is specified then this cmdlet will only search the ini-format credential file at the location given.As the current folder can vary in a shell or during script execution it is advised that you use specify a fully qualified path instead of a relative path.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesAWSProfilesLocation, ProfilesLocation
-ProfileName <String>
The user-defined name of an AWS credentials or SAML-based role profile containing credential information. The profile is expected to be found in the secure credential file shared with the AWS SDK for .NET and AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio. You can also specify the name of a profile stored in the .ini-format credential file used with the AWS CLI and other AWS SDKs.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesStoredCredentials, AWSProfileName
-Region <Object>
The system name of an AWS region or an AWSRegion instance. This governs the endpoint that will be used when calling service operations. Note that the AWS resources referenced in a call are usually region-specific.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesRegionToCall
-SecretKey <String>
The AWS secret key for the user account. This can be a temporary secret key if the corresponding session token is supplied to the -SessionToken parameter.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesSK, SecretAccessKey
-SessionToken <String>
The session token if the access and secret keys are temporary session-based credentials.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesST

Outputs

This cmdlet returns an Amazon.DirectConnect.Model.VirtualInterface object. The service call response (type Amazon.DirectConnect.Model.CreateBGPPeerResponse) can also be referenced from properties attached to the cmdlet entry in the $AWSHistory stack.
