Category

Capabilities.

Configuration

plugin {
    internal softver { use bgp-softver }
}

bgp {
    peer upstream {
        capability {
            softver;
        }
    }
}

Behaviour

During OPEN negotiation, the plugin injects the Software Version capability (code 75, draft) with the build version string. Peers that receive the capability can surface the remote side's software version in their operator tools.

The capability is informational only and draft-status. Not every peer will recognise it, and not every peer will advertise it back. It is useful when you want to know which version of Ze you are peering with without asking the operator on the other side.

Interactions

• Reads the Ze version string at startup (YY.MM.DD format based on build date).
