Remove Google-defined advertisement groups

To remove Google-defined advertisement groups, use the gcloud compute routers update command with the --remove-advertisement-groups flag. Advertisement groups are Google-defined IP address ranges that the Cloud Router dynamically advertises. For a list of all advertisement groups, see the set-advertisement-groups flag in the Google SDK documentation.

gcloud compute routers update ROUTER_NAME 
\
      --remove-advertisement-groups= ADVERTISED_GROUPS 

Replace the following:

• ROUTER_NAME : the name of the Cloud Router

• ADVERTISED_GROUPS : Google-defined IP address ranges that the Cloud Router dynamically advertises

  The only valid value is all_subnets , which advertises subnets based on the VPC network's dynamic routing mode (similar to default advertisement mode).

The following example updates the my-router Cloud Router and removes the all_subnets advertisement group:

gcloud compute routers update my-router \
     --remove-advertisement-groups all_subnets

Remove existing IP address ranges

To remove existing IP address ranges that are being advertised, such as static external IP addresses or subnet IP address ranges, use the gcloud compute routers update command with the --remove-advertisement-ranges flag:

gcloud compute routers update ROUTER_NAME 
\
     --remove-advertisement-ranges= ADVERTISED_IP_RANGES 

Replace the following:

• ROUTER_NAME : the name of the Cloud Router

• ADVERTISED_IP_RANGES : the contents of the new array of IP address ranges

  You can specify both IPv4 and IPv6 custom IP address ranges. However, IPv6 custom ranges are advertised only in BGP sessions where IPv6 is enabled.

The following example removes the existing 10.0.10.0/24 subnet IP address range from the my-router Cloud Router:

gcloud compute routers update my-router \
     --remove-advertisement-ranges 10.0.10.0/24

API

To update the bgp.advertisedGroups[] and bgp.advertisedIpRanges[] fields, use the routers.patch method .

The bgp.advertisedGroups[] and bgp.advertisedIpRanges[] fields accept arrays of advertised groups and advertised IP address ranges. When you PATCH these fields, you overwrite the existing arrays with the new ones in your request.

1. Send a GET request to get the current arrays of advertised groups and advertised IP address ranges on the router. For details, see View BGP session configuration .

2. Send a PATCH request with new arrays of advertised groups and advertised IP address ranges. Use the arrays from the GET request in the previous step and remove any groups or IP address ranges that you do not want on the router.

   You can send an empty array to remove all advertised groups or advertised IP address ranges:

   PATCH https://compute.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/ PROJECT_ID 
   /regions/ REGION 
   /routers/ ROUTER_NAME 
   {
     "bgp": {
       "advertisedGroups": [
         " ADVERTISED_GROUPS 
   "
      ],
       "advertisedIpRanges": [ ADVERTISED_IP_RANGES 
   ]
    }
   }

   Replace the following:

   • 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

   • ADVERTISED_GROUPS : a Google-defined group that the Cloud Router dynamically advertises

     The only valid value is ALL_SUBNETS , which advertises subnets based on the VPC network's dynamic routing mode (similar to default advertisement mode). To stop advertising subnets, you can send an empty array.

   • ADVERTISED_IP_RANGES : the contents of the new array of IP address ranges

   The following example contains two IP address ranges:

   {
         "range": "1.2.3.4",
         "description": "First example range"
       },
       {
         "range": "6.7.0.0/16",
         "description": "Second example range"
       }

Console

1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Cloud Routerspage.

   Go to Cloud Routers

2. Select the Cloud Router that contains the BGP session to update.

3. On the Router detailspage, select the BGP session to update.

4. On the BGP session detailspage, click edit Edit.

5. Find the advertised routes to delete, and then next to each route, click delete Delete.

6. After you finish deleting the routes, click Save.

gcloud

Remove Google-defined advertisement groups

To remove advertisement groups, use the gcloud compute routers update-bgp-peer command with the --remove-advertisement-groups flag. You can remove any existing advertisement groups.

gcloud compute routers update-bgp-peer ROUTER_NAME 
\
     --peer-name= PEER_NAME 
\
     --remove-advertisement-groups= ADVERTISED_GROUPS 

Replace the following:

• ROUTER_NAME : the name of the Cloud Router

• PEER_NAME : the name of your BGP peer

• ADVERTISED_GROUPS : a Google-defined group that Cloud Router dynamically advertises

  The only valid value is all_subnets , which advertises subnets based on the VPC network's dynamic routing mode (similar to default advertisement mode).

For a list of all advertisement groups, see the set-advertisement-groups flag in the Google SDK documentation.

The following example updates the my-bgp-session BGP session on the my-router Cloud Router to remove the all_subnets advertisement group:

gcloud compute routers update-bgp-peer my-router \
     --peer-name my-bgp-session \
     --remove-advertisement-groups all_subnets

Remove existing IP ranges

To remove existing IP address ranges that are being advertised, such as static external IP addresses or subnet IP address ranges, use the gcloud compute routers update-bgp-peer command with the --remove-advertisement-ranges flag:

gcloud compute routers update-bgp-peer ROUTER_NAME 
\
     --peer-name= PEER_NAME 
\
     --remove-advertisement-ranges= ADVERTISED_IP_RANGES 

Replace the following:

• ROUTER_NAME : the name of the Cloud Router

• PEER_NAME : the name of your BGP peer

• ADVERTISED_IP_RANGES : the contents of the new array of IP address ranges

  You can specify both IPv4 and IPv6 custom IP address ranges. However, IPv6 custom ranges are advertised only in BGP sessions where IPv6 is enabled.

The following example updates the my-bgp-session BGP session on the my-router Cloud Router to remove the existing 10.0.10.0/24 subnet IP range:

gcloud compute routers update-bgp-peer my-router \
     --peer-name my-bgp-session \
     --remove-advertisement-ranges 10.0.10.0/24

API

To update the bgpPeers[] field, use the routers.patch method .

The bgpPeers[] field accepts an array of BGP peers. When you PATCH this field, you overwrite the existing array of BGP peers with the new array included in your request.

1. Send a GET request to get the current array of BGP peers for the router. For details, see View BGP session configuration .

2. Send a PATCH request with a new array of BGP peers. For each BGP peer that you want to remove custom advertised routes for, do the following:

   • Remove any IP address range advertisements that you do not want from the bgpPeers[].advertisedIpRanges[] field.
   • Remove any group advertisements that you do not want from the bgpPeers[].advertisedGroups[] field.

   PATCH https://compute.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/ PROJECT_ID 
   /regions/ REGION 
   /routers/ ROUTER_NAME 
   {
     "bgpPeers": [ BGP_PEERS 
   ]
   }

   Replace the following:

   • 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
   • BGP_PEERS : the contents of the new array of BGP peers

   In the following example, the first BGP peer includes values for the advertisedGroups[] and advertisedIpRanges[] fields. For the second BGP peer, custom advertised routes have been removed and the advertiseMode has been reverted to DEFAULT .

   {
         "name": "peer-1",
         "interfaceName": "if-peer-1",
         "ipAddress": "169.254.10.1",
         "peerIpAddress": "169.254.10.2",
         "peerAsn": 64512,
         "advertisedRoutePriority": 100,
         "advertiseMode": "CUSTOM", "advertisedGroups": ["ALL_SUBNETS"],
         "advertisedIpRanges": [
           {
             "range": "1.2.3.4",
             "description": "First example range"
           },
           {
             "range": "6.7.0.0/16",
             "description": "Second example range"
           }
         ] 
   },
       {
         "name": "peer-2",
         "interfaceName": "if-peer-2",
         "ipAddress": "169.254.20.1",
         "peerIpAddress": "169.254.20.2",
         "peerAsn": 64513,
         "advertisedRoutePriority": 100, "advertiseMode": "DEFAULT",
         "advertisedGroups": [],
         "advertisedIpRanges": [] 
   }
