Cloud Router supports named sets in Preview for BGP route policies. Named sets are used to group together expressions of either communities or BGP prefixes, allowing them to be managed or referenced as a single entity. For more information, see BGP route policies overview.
]]>Cloud Router support for BGP route policies is now generally available. For more information, see BGP route policies overview.
]]>Standard best path selection mode is now generally available. For more information, see Best path selection modes.
]]>Cloud Router supports standard best path selection mode in Preview, which offers support for consistent AS path-based routing and more control over how BGP prefixes are ranked in your VPC networks. For more information, see Best path selection modes.
]]>Cloud Router supports BGP route policies in Public Preview. For more information, see BGP route policies overview.
Cloud Router support for IPv6 BGP sessions is generally available. For more information, see BGP peering IP addresses.
]]>Cloud Router support for IPv6 BGP sessions is in Public Preview. For more information, see BGP peering IP addresses.
]]>The Cloud Router custom learned routes feature is Generally Available (GA). For more information, see Custom learned routes.
]]>The Cloud Router custom learned routes feature is in Preview. This feature lets you configure a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) session to include learned routes that you manually specify. Cloud Router then behaves as if it learned the routes from the BGP peer.
Custom learned routes can be helpful if you want to avoid the limitations of static routes. For example:
Static routes can't detect a loss of reachability in the next hop of a route. In contrast, custom learned routes can detect a loss of reachability, and they react accordingly to avoid dropping traffic without notification.
Static routes do not support using HA VPN tunnels or Cloud Interconnect VLAN attachments as next hops. Custom learned routes do.
For more information, see Custom learned routes.
]]>Cloud Router supports Multiprotocol BGP (MP-BGP) and can exchange IPv6 prefixes over IPv4 BGP sessions. Cloud Router supports IPv6 prefix advertisement for VPC networks with dual-stack subnets. You can enable IPv6 prefix exchange over IPv4 BGP sessions that are created for HA VPN tunnels. This feature is generally available.
]]>The Cloud Router BGP MD5 authentication feature is Generally Available (GA). For more information, see Use MD5 authentication.
]]>You can now use the Google Cloud Console to configure MD5 authentication for BGP sessions. The MD5 authentication feature is available in Preview. For more information, see Use MD5 authentication.
]]>Cloud Router now supports MD5 authentication of BGP sessions. This feature is available in preview. For more information, see Use MD5 authentication.
]]>Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) for Cloud Router is Generally Available (GA).
]]>The Cloud Router documentation now includes a page that describes the possible values for a BGP session's state. Also, the documentation about diagnostic messages and session states related to Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) has moved from Troubleshooting to a new page. BFD is in preview and is covered by the Pre-GA Offerings Terms of the Google Cloud Terms of Service.
]]>Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) for Cloud Router is available in Preview.
]]>Cloud Router now supports the following:
]]>The public documentation for Cloud Router is now located under the Network Connectivity page.
]]>Added recommended settings for the Graceful Restart timer and the Stalepath timer to the Overview page.
]]>Added a section on BGP timer settings to the Overview page.
]]>Specifying Cloud Router route advertisements is Generally Available.
]]>Specifying Cloud Router route advertisements is in Beta.
]]>Setting a VPC network's dynamic routing mode is Generally Available.
]]>Setting a VPC network's dynamic routing mode is is in Beta. The VPC dynamic routing mode determines whether Cloud Router advertises and propagates routes globally or regionally.
Published a standalone guide for Cloud Router.
