Viewing a Cloud Router configuration

View the configuration for each BGP session of a Cloud Router. For example, you can view the configured route advertisements for the router and its BGP sessions or the base advertised route priority that Cloud Router uses for calculating route metrics.

All routes for a BGP session use the same base priority. For more information, see Route metrics. If no value is specified, the base advertised route priority is the default value of 100.

To view the configuration for an existing BGP session:

Console


  1. Go to the Cloud Router page in the Google Cloud Console.
    Go to the Cloud Router page
  2. From the list of routers, select the router with the BGP session that you want to view.
  3. View the BGP sessions section to see the details of your Cloud Router's BGP sessions.

gcloud


  1. Run the describe command, passing the name of the Cloud Router.

    gcloud compute routers describe [ROUTER_NAME]

  2. In the output, view the bgpPeers section.

API

To view the configuration for a BGP session, use the routers.get method.

GET https://compute.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/PROJECT_ID/regions/REGION/routers/ROUTER_NAME

Replace the following values:

  • PROJECT_ID: the project that contains the Cloud Router
  • REGION: the region where the Cloud Router is located
  • ROUTER_NAME: the name of the Cloud Router

The bgpPeers[] field in the output contains the configuration for each BGP session.
