CD 10.4+ allows the tenant to create a routed network with Route Advertisement enabled to allow the T1 gateway to advertise it to the north T0 gateway/provider gateway.
vcd_network_routed_v2 resource does not has have an argument for that.

Add an argument (Boolean) in vcd_network_routed_v2 resource which allows the tenant to automate enabling/disabling Route Advertisement for that specific routed network.

vcd_network_routed_v2
New argument:
route_advertised - Optional (VCD 10.4+) / Boolean if set to true, the network will be marked for advertisement by Org Edge to the north Provider GW and to the physical network. Default is false.

@Didainius, do you happen to have an update on when this is planned to be available? Enabling route advertisement for Public IP Space routed networks is quite a common use-case for VCD customers.

@nnikodimov, it's too early to answer that (yet).

That's a needed feature to enable option to advertise networks.

Any update on this?

Hello,
This functionality is implemented in #1203. Would anyone want to give it a try?

[selmalatawey]

@Didainius how can I pull that beta version including the fix?

[Didainius]

@selmalatawey , this would have to be done by manually building it from pull request branch manually (https://github.com/vmware/terraform-provider-vcd?tab=readme-ov-file#using-the-provider) . Alternatively, I could build it for you and share the binary in a cloud storage. To do that I would need to know the OS that you're going to run it in.

@Didainius I tested it. It works :) Amazing work. Thank you

@Didainius The "Route Advertisement" settings have changed in the new version of VCD (v10.5.1). Now "Advertisement Strict", "Advertisement Flexible" and "All Networks Advertised" are offered. I would require these new settings to be set via terraform for our use-case.

@bogi0704 , just in time :) I will make a separate adjustment to add these, as this one is finalised now and is easier for team reviews.

Thanks for the patch :)

Is there an ETA for the next release that will contain this patch?
