A network device creates a virtual border gateway protocol (BGP) peer and the BGP peer is enabled all BGP capability data configured in the network device. A BGP monitoring protocol (BMP) module of the network device acquires the enabled BGP capability by using a BGP message. According to the solution of the embodiment, the network device obtains all BGP capabilities configured in the network device and sends all the BGP capabilities to a monitoring server, so that the monitoring server can fully understand actual capability supported by the entire network, further providing an effective basis for deployment of and decision on the entire network.

Network device and method for sending BGP information

A BGP logical topology generation method includes obtaining, by a controller, node information of a first forwarder and BGP session information of the first forwarder, and obtaining node information of a second forwarder and BGP session information of the second forwarder; and generating, by the controller, a BGP logical topology between the first forwarder and the second forwarder according to the node information and the BGP session information of the first forwarder, and the node information and the BGP session information of the second forwarder that are obtained.

BGP logical topology generation method, and device

An information synchronization method includes sending, by a controller, a first message to a network device, where the first message carries control routing protocol (CRP) routing entry information, and is used to advertise a CRP route, and the first message includes first identification information, and after receiving the first message, storing, by a forwarding device, the CRP routing entry information into a CRP routing table of the network device as indicated by the first identification information. Hence, because a route advertised by the controller and a route advertised using a routing protocol between forwarding devices are stored in different routing tables, a related application of the route advertised using the routing protocol between the forwarding devices is not affected.

Information synchronization method, apparatus, and system

A Border Gateway Protocol Monitoring Protocol (BMP) module sends to a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) module a request for acquiring a capability information set; the BGP module traverses BGP capability data stored in the BGP module to acquire all BGP capability data configured in the network device and sends all the BGP capability to the BMP module; and the BMP module sends to the monitoring server an initial capability information set message carrying all the BGP capability data and a device identifier of the network device. By means of capability extension of a network device, the network device can acquire, through interaction between a BGP module and a BMP module, all BGP capabilities configured in the network device and send all the BGP capabilities to a monitoring server, so that the monitoring server can fully understand actual capability supported by the entire network, further providing an effective basis for deployment of and decision on the entire network.

The present disclosure relates to the communications field, and discloses a BGP logical topology generation method, and a device. The method includes: obtaining, by a controller, node information of a first forwarder and BGP session information of the first forwarder, and obtaining node information of a second forwarder and BGP session information of the second forwarder; and generating, by the controller, a BGP logical topology between the first forwarder and the second forwarder according to the node information and the BGP session information of the first forwarder, and the node information and the BGP session information of the second forwarder that are obtained. The technical solution provided in the present invention can implement collection of a BGP logical topology between forwarders by the controller, which is favorable for the controller to manage forwarders running the BGP protocol.

A VPN implementation method and a PE device are provided. The method includes: sending VPN topology information of a local end to a PE device at a peer end, and receiving VPN topology information of the peer end sent by the PE device at the peer end; enabling, according to the VPN topology information of the local end and the VPN topology information of the peer end, the local end and the peer end to select a jointly supported topology; and connecting VPN members by using the jointly supported topology, so as to implement the VPN. A VPN in a multi-topology environment may be implemented, and service quality of a multi-topology VPN may be improved.
