Create and modify peering for an ExpressRoute circuit using PowerShell

  • Artikkeli

This article helps you create and manage routing configuration for an ExpressRoute circuit in the Resource Manager deployment model using PowerShell. You can also check the status, update, or delete and deprovision peerings for an ExpressRoute circuit. If you want to use a different method to work with your circuit, select an article from the following list:

These instructions only apply to circuits created with service providers offering Layer 2 connectivity services. If you're using a service provider that offers managed Layer 3 services, typically an IPVPN, like MPLS, your connectivity provider configures and manages network routing for you.

Important

We currently do not advertise peerings configured by service providers through the service management portal. We are working on enabling this capability soon. Check with your service provider before configuring BGP peerings.

You can configure private peering and Microsoft peering for an ExpressRoute circuit. Peerings can be configured in any order you choose. However, you must make sure that you complete the configuration of each peering one at a time. For more information about routing domains and peerings, see ExpressRoute routing domains.

In this tutorial, you learn how to:

  • Configure, update, and delete Microsoft peering for a circuit
  • Configure, update, and delete Azure private peering for a circuit

Prerequisites

  • Make sure that you've reviewed the following pages before you begin configuration:
  • You must have an active ExpressRoute circuit. Follow the instructions to Create an ExpressRoute circuit and have the circuit enabled by your connectivity provider before you continue. The ExpressRoute circuit must be in a provisioned and enabled state for you to run the cmdlets in this article.

Azure Cloud Shell

Azure hosts Azure Cloud Shell, an interactive shell environment that you can use through your browser. You can use either Bash or PowerShell with Cloud Shell to work with Azure services. You can use the Cloud Shell preinstalled commands to run the code in this article, without having to install anything on your local environment.

To start Azure Cloud Shell:

Option Example/Link
Select Try It in the upper-right corner of a code or command block. Selecting Try It doesn't automatically copy the code or command to Cloud Shell. Screenshot that shows an example of Try It for Azure Cloud Shell.
Go to https://shell.azure.com, or select the Launch Cloud Shell button to open Cloud Shell in your browser. Button to launch Azure Cloud Shell.
Select the Cloud Shell button on the menu bar at the upper right in the Azure portal. Screenshot that shows the Cloud Shell button in the Azure portal

To use Azure Cloud Shell:

  1. Start Cloud Shell.

  2. Select the Copy button on a code block (or command block) to copy the code or command.

  3. Paste the code or command into the Cloud Shell session by selecting Ctrl+Shift+V on Windows and Linux, or by selecting Cmd+Shift+V on macOS.

  4. Select Enter to run the code or command.

Microsoft peering

This section helps you create, get, update, and delete the Microsoft peering configuration for an ExpressRoute circuit.

Important

Microsoft peering of ExpressRoute circuits that were configured prior to August 1, 2017 will have all service prefixes advertised through the Microsoft peering, even if route filters are not defined. Microsoft peering of ExpressRoute circuits that are configured on or after August 1, 2017 will not have any prefixes advertised until a route filter is attached to the circuit. For more information, see Configure a route filter for Microsoft peering.

To create Microsoft peering

  1. Sign in and select your subscription.

    If you installed PowerShell locally, sign in. If you're using Azure Cloud Shell, you can skip this step.

    Connect-AzAccount

    Select the subscription you want to create ExpressRoute circuit.

    Select-AzSubscription -SubscriptionId "<subscription ID>"

  2. Create an ExpressRoute circuit.

    Follow the instructions to create an ExpressRoute circuit and have it provisioned by the connectivity provider. If your connectivity provider offers managed Layer 3 services, you can ask your connectivity provider to enable Microsoft peering for you. You won't need to follow instructions listed in the next sections. However, if your connectivity provider doesn't manage routing for you, after creating your circuit, continue your configuration using the next steps.

  3. Check the ExpressRoute circuit to make sure it's provisioned and also enabled. Use the following example:

    Get-AzExpressRouteCircuit -Name "ExpressRouteARMCircuit" -ResourceGroupName "ExpressRouteResourceGroup"

    The response is similar to the following example:

    Name                             : ExpressRouteARMCircuit
ResourceGroupName                : ExpressRouteResourceGroup
Location                         : westus
Id                               : /subscriptions/***************************/resourceGroups/ExpressRouteResourceGroup/providers/Microsoft.Network/expressRouteCircuits/ExpressRouteARMCircuit
Etag                             : W/"################################"

                                    "Name": "Standard_MeteredData",
                                    "Tier": "Standard",
                                    "Family": "MeteredData"
                                  }
CircuitProvisioningState         : Enabled
ServiceProviderProvisioningState : Provisioned
ServiceProviderNotes             : 
ServiceProviderProperties        : {
                                    "ServiceProviderName": "Equinix",
                                    "PeeringLocation": "Silicon Valley",
                                    "BandwidthInMbps": 200
                                  }

  4. Configure Microsoft peering for the circuit. Make sure that you have the following information before you continue.

    • A pair of subnets owned by you and registered in an RIR/IRR. One subnet is used for the primary link, while the other will be used for the secondary link. From each of these subnets, you assign the first usable IP address to your router as Microsoft uses the second usable IP for its router. You have three options for this pair of subnets:
      • IPv4: Two /30 subnets. These must be valid public IPv4 prefixes.
      • IPv6: Two /126 subnets. These must be valid public IPv6 prefixes.
      • Both: Two /30 subnets and two /126 subnets.
    • Microsoft peering enables you to communicate with the public IP addresses on Microsoft network. So, your traffic endpoints on your on-premises network should be public too. This is often done using SNAT.

    Note

    When using SNAT, we advise against a public IP address from the range assigned to primary or secondary link. Instead, you should use a different range of public IP addresses that has been assigned to you and registered in a Regional Internet Registry (RIR) or Internet Routing Registry (IRR). Depending on your call volume, this range can be as small as a single IP address (represented as '/32' for IPv4 or '/128' for IPv6).

    • A valid VLAN ID to establish this peering on. Ensure that no other peering in the circuit uses the same VLAN ID. For both Primary and Secondary links you must use the same VLAN ID.
    • AS number for peering. You can use both 2-byte and 4-byte AS numbers.
    • Advertised prefixes: You provide a list of all prefixes you plan to advertise over the BGP session. Only public IP address prefixes are accepted. If you plan to send a set of prefixes, you can send a comma-separated list. These prefixes must be registered to you in an RIR / IRR.
    • Optional - Customer ASN: If you're advertising prefixes not registered to the peering AS number, you can specify the AS number to which they're registered with.
    • Routing Registry Name: You can specify the RIR / IRR against which the AS number and prefixes are registered.
    • Optional - An MD5 hash if you choose to use one.

Important

Microsoft verifies if the specified 'Advertised public prefixes' and 'Peer ASN' (or 'Customer ASN') are assigned to you in the Internet Routing Registry. If you are getting the public prefixes from another entity and if the assignment is not recorded with the routing registry, the automatic validation will not complete and will require manual validation. If the automatic validation fails, you will see 'AdvertisedPublicPrefixesState' as 'Validation needed' on the output of "Get-AzExpressRouteCircuitPeeringConfig" (see "To get Microsoft peering details" in the following section).

If you see the message 'Validation needed', collect the document(s) that show the public prefixes are assigned to your organization by the entity that is listed as the owner of the prefixes in the routing registry and submit these documents for manual validation by opening a support ticket.

Use the following example to configure Microsoft peering for your circuit:

Add-AzExpressRouteCircuitPeeringConfig -Name "MicrosoftPeering" -ExpressRouteCircuit $ckt -PeeringType MicrosoftPeering -PeerASN 100 -PeerAddressType IPv4 -PrimaryPeerAddressPrefix "123.0.0.0/30" -SecondaryPeerAddressPrefix "123.0.0.4/30" -VlanId 300 -MicrosoftConfigAdvertisedPublicPrefixes "123.1.0.0/24" -MicrosoftConfigCustomerAsn 23 -MicrosoftConfigRoutingRegistryName "ARIN"

Add-AzExpressRouteCircuitPeeringConfig -Name "MicrosoftPeering" -ExpressRouteCircuit $ckt -PeeringType MicrosoftPeering -PeerASN 100 -PeerAddressType IPv6 -PrimaryPeerAddressPrefix "3FFE:FFFF:0:CD30::/126" -SecondaryPeerAddressPrefix "3FFE:FFFF:0:CD30::4/126" -VlanId 300 -MicrosoftConfigAdvertisedPublicPrefixes "3FFE:FFFF:0:CD31::/120" -MicrosoftConfigCustomerAsn 23 -MicrosoftConfigRoutingRegistryName "ARIN"

Set-AzExpressRouteCircuit -ExpressRouteCircuit $ckt

To get Microsoft peering details

You can get configuration details using the following example:

$ckt = Get-AzExpressRouteCircuit -Name "ExpressRouteARMCircuit" -ResourceGroupName "ExpressRouteResourceGroup"

Get-AzExpressRouteCircuitPeeringConfig -Name "MicrosoftPeering" -ExpressRouteCircuit $ckt

To update Microsoft peering configuration

You can update any part of the configuration using the following example:

Set-AzExpressRouteCircuitPeeringConfig  -Name "MicrosoftPeering" -ExpressRouteCircuit $ckt -PeeringType MicrosoftPeering -PeerASN 100 -PeerAddressType IPv4 -PrimaryPeerAddressPrefix "123.0.0.0/30" -SecondaryPeerAddressPrefix "123.0.0.4/30" -VlanId 300 -MicrosoftConfigAdvertisedPublicPrefixes "124.1.0.0/24" -MicrosoftConfigCustomerAsn 23 -MicrosoftConfigRoutingRegistryName "ARIN"

Set-AzExpressRouteCircuitPeeringConfig  -Name "MicrosoftPeering" -ExpressRouteCircuit $ckt -PeeringType MicrosoftPeering -PeerASN 100 -PeerAddressType IPv6 -PrimaryPeerAddressPrefix "3FFE:FFFF:0:CD30::/126" -SecondaryPeerAddressPrefix "3FFE:FFFF:0:CD30::4/126" -VlanId 300 -MicrosoftConfigAdvertisedPublicPrefixes "3FFE:FFFF:0:CD31::/120" -MicrosoftConfigCustomerAsn 23 -MicrosoftConfigRoutingRegistryName "ARIN"

Set-AzExpressRouteCircuit -ExpressRouteCircuit $ckt

Azure private peering

This section helps you create, get, update, and delete the Azure private peering configuration for an ExpressRoute circuit.

To create Azure private peering

  1. Import the PowerShell module for ExpressRoute.

    Install the latest PowerShell installer from PowerShell Gallery. Then import the Azure Resource Manager modules into the PowerShell session in order to start using the ExpressRoute cmdlets. You need to run PowerShell as an Administrator.

    Install-Module Az

    Import all of the Az.* modules within the known semantic version range.

    Import-Module Az

    You can also just import a select module within the known semantic version range.

    Import-Module Az.Network

    Sign in to your account.

    Connect-AzAccount

    Select the subscription you want to create ExpressRoute circuit.

    Select-AzSubscription -SubscriptionId "<subscription ID>"

  2. Create an ExpressRoute circuit.

    Follow the instructions to create an ExpressRoute circuit and have it provisioned by the connectivity provider. If your connectivity provider offers managed Layer 3 services, you can ask your connectivity provider to enable Azure private peering for you. You won't need to follow instructions listed in the next sections. However, if your connectivity provider doesn't manage routing for you, after creating your circuit, continue your configuration using the next steps.

  3. Check the ExpressRoute circuit to make sure it's provisioned and also enabled. Use the following example:

    Get-AzExpressRouteCircuit -Name "ExpressRouteARMCircuit" -ResourceGroupName "ExpressRouteResourceGroup"

    The response is similar to the following example:

    Name                             : ExpressRouteARMCircuit
ResourceGroupName                : ExpressRouteResourceGroup
Location                         : westus
Id                               : /subscriptions/***************************/resourceGroups/ExpressRouteResourceGroup/providers/Microsoft.Network/expressRouteCircuits/ExpressRouteARMCircuit

  4. Configure Azure private peering for the circuit. Make sure that you have the following items before you continue with the next steps:

    • A pair of subnets that aren't part of any address space reserved for virtual networks. One subnet is used for the primary link, while the other is used for the secondary link. From each of these subnets, you assign the first usable IP address to your router as Microsoft uses the second usable IP for its router. You have three options for this pair of subnets:
      • IPv4: Two /30 subnets.
      • IPv6: Two /126 subnets.
      • Both: Two /30 subnets and two /126 subnets.
    • A valid VLAN ID to establish this peering on. Ensure that no other peering in the circuit uses the same VLAN ID.
    • AS number for peering. You can use both 2-byte and 4-byte AS numbers. You can use a private AS number for this peering. Ensure that you aren't using 65515.
    • Optional:
      • An MD5 hash if you choose to use one.

    Use the following example to configure Azure private peering for your circuit:

    Add-AzExpressRouteCircuitPeeringConfig -Name "AzurePrivatePeering" -ExpressRouteCircuit $ckt -PeeringType AzurePrivatePeering -PeerASN 100 -PrimaryPeerAddressPrefix "10.0.0.0/30" -SecondaryPeerAddressPrefix "10.0.0.4/30" -VlanId 200

Add-AzExpressRouteCircuitPeeringConfig -Name "AzurePrivatePeering" -ExpressRouteCircuit $ckt -PeeringType AzurePrivatePeering -PeerASN 100 -PrimaryPeerAddressPrefix "3FFE:FFFF:0:CD30::/126" -SecondaryPeerAddressPrefix "3FFE:FFFF:0:CD30::4/126" -VlanId 200 -PeerAddressType IPv6

Set-AzExpressRouteCircuit -ExpressRouteCircuit $ckt

    If you choose to use an MD5 hash, use the following example:

    Add-AzExpressRouteCircuitPeeringConfig -Name "AzurePrivatePeering" -ExpressRouteCircuit $ckt -PeeringType AzurePrivatePeering -PeerASN 100 -PrimaryPeerAddressPrefix "10.0.0.0/30" -SecondaryPeerAddressPrefix "10.0.0.4/30" -VlanId 200  -SharedKey "A1B2C3D4"

Add-AzExpressRouteCircuitPeeringConfig -Name "AzurePrivatePeering" -ExpressRouteCircuit $ckt -PeeringType AzurePrivatePeering -PeerASN 100 -PrimaryPeerAddressPrefix "3FFE:FFFF:0:CD30::/126" -SecondaryPeerAddressPrefix "3FFE:FFFF:0:CD30::4/126" -VlanId 200 -PeerAddressType IPv6 -SharedKey "A1B2C3D4"

    Important

    Ensure that you specify your AS number as peering ASN, not customer ASN.

To get Azure private peering details

You can get configuration details by using the following example:

$ckt = Get-AzExpressRouteCircuit -Name "ExpressRouteARMCircuit" -ResourceGroupName "ExpressRouteResourceGroup"

Get-AzExpressRouteCircuitPeeringConfig -Name "AzurePrivatePeering" -ExpressRouteCircuit $ckt

To update Azure private peering configuration

You can update any part of the configuration using the following example. In this example, the VLAN ID of the circuit is being updated from 200 to 500.

Set-AzExpressRouteCircuitPeeringConfig -Name "AzurePrivatePeering" -ExpressRouteCircuit $ckt -PeeringType AzurePrivatePeering -PeerASN 100 -PrimaryPeerAddressPrefix "10.0.0.0/30" -SecondaryPeerAddressPrefix "10.0.0.4/30" -VlanId 500

Set-AzExpressRouteCircuit -ExpressRouteCircuit $ckt

Clean up resources

To delete Microsoft peering

You can remove your peering configuration by running the following cmdlet:

Remove-AzExpressRouteCircuitPeeringConfig -Name "MicrosoftPeering" -ExpressRouteCircuit $ckt

Set-AzExpressRouteCircuit -ExpressRouteCircuit $ckt

To delete Azure private peering

You can remove your peering configuration by running the following example:

Warning

You must ensure that all virtual networks and ExpressRoute Global Reach connections are removed before running this example.

Remove-AzExpressRouteCircuitPeeringConfig -Name "AzurePrivatePeering" -ExpressRouteCircuit $ckt

Set-AzExpressRouteCircuit -ExpressRouteCircuit $ckt

Next steps

After you've configured Azure private peering, you can create an ExpressRoute gateway to link a virtual network to the circuit.

Configure a virtual network gateway for ExpressRoute
