Name	Description	Type	Notes
_create_time	Timestamp of resource creation	EpochMsTimestamp	Readonly Sortable
_create_user	ID of the user who created this resource	string	Readonly
_last_modified_time	Timestamp of last modification	EpochMsTimestamp	Readonly Sortable
_last_modified_user	ID of the user who last modified this resource	string	Readonly
_links	References related to this resource The server will populate this field when returing the resource. Ignored on PUT and POST.	array of ResourceLink	Readonly
_protection	Indicates protection status of this resource Protection status is one of the following: PROTECTED - the client who retrieved the entity is not allowed to modify it. NOT_PROTECTED - the client who retrieved the entity is allowed to modify it REQUIRE_OVERRIDE - the client who retrieved the entity is a super user and can modify it, but only when providing the request header X-Allow-Overwrite=true. UNKNOWN - the _protection field could not be determined for this entity.	string	Readonly
_revision	Generation of this resource config The _revision property describes the current revision of the resource. To prevent clients from overwriting each other's changes, PUT operations must include the current _revision of the resource, which clients should obtain by issuing a GET operation. If the _revision provided in a PUT request is missing or stale, the operation will be rejected.	int
_schema	Schema for this resource	string	Readonly
_self	Link to this resource	SelfResourceLink	Readonly
_system_owned	Indicates system owned resource	boolean	Readonly
as_num	4 Byte ASN in ASPLAIN/ASDOT Format For VRF logical router, the as_num from parent logical router will be effective.	string
as_number	Autonomous System Number This is a deprecated property, Please use 'as_num' instead. For VRF logical router, the as_number from parent logical router will be effective.	integer	Deprecated Minimum: 1 Maximum: 4294967296
description	Description of this resource	string	Maximum length: 1024 Sortable
display_name	Identifier to use when displaying entity in logs or GUI Defaults to ID if not set	string	Maximum length: 255 Sortable
ecmp	Flag to enable outbound ECMP While creation of BGP config this flag will be set to true User can change this value while updating BGP config. If this property is not specified in the payload, the default value will be considered as true.	boolean	Default: "True"
enabled	Flag to enable this configuration While creation of BGP config this flag will be set to - true for Tier0 logical router with Active-Active high-availability mode - false for Tier0 logical router with Active-Standby high-availanility mode. User can change this value while updating the config. If this property is not specified in the payload, the default value will be considered as false irrespective of the high-availability mode.	boolean	Default: "False"
graceful_restart	Flag to enable graceful restart Flag to enable graceful restart. This field is deprecated, kindly use graceful_restart_config parameter for graceful restart configuration. If both parameters are set and consistent with each other [i.e. graceful_restart=false and graceful_restart_mode=HELPER_ONLY OR graceful_restart=true and graceful_restart_mode=GR_AND_HELPER] then this is allowed, but if inconsistent with each other then this is not allowed and validation error will be thrown. For VRF logical router, the settings from parent logical router will be effective.	boolean	Deprecated
graceful_restart_config	BGP Graceful Restart configuration Configuration parameters for BGP Graceful Restart functionality. It has graceful_restart_mode and graceful_restart_timer parameters. For VRF logical router, the settings from parent logical router will be effective.	GracefulRestartConfig
id	Unique identifier of this resource	string	Sortable
inter_sr_ibgp	Inter SR IBGP configuration	InterSRRoutingConfig
logical_router_id	Logical router id	string	Readonly
multipath_relax	Flag to enable BGP multipath relax option. For TIER0 logical router, default is true. For VRF logical router, the settings from parent logical router will be effective.	boolean
resource_type	Must be set to the value BgpConfig	string
route_aggregation	List of routes to be aggregated	array of BgpRouteAggregation	Minimum items: 0 Maximum items: 1000
tags	Opaque identifiers meaningful to the API user	array of Tag	Maximum items: 30
