BGP Route Map Redistribution Models

Overview

The BGP Route Map Redistribution models provide a structured way to represent and validate BGP route map redistribution configuration data for Palo Alto Networks' Strata Cloud Manager. This is the most complex model in the routing profile family, implementing a 2-level oneOf discrimination pattern that determines which match criteria and set actions are available based on the source and target protocol combination.

Models

The module provides 31 Pydantic model classes organized into the following categories:

Main Models (4):

• BgpRouteMapRedistributionBaseModel: Base model with 2-level oneOf source protocol discrimination
• BgpRouteMapRedistributionCreateModel: Model for creating new redistributions
• BgpRouteMapRedistributionUpdateModel: Model for updating existing redistributions
• BgpRouteMapRedistributionResponseModel: Response model for redistribution operations

Source Protocol Models (3) - Level 1 Discrimination:

• BgpRouteMapRedistBgpSource: BGP as source with targets ospf or rib
• BgpRouteMapRedistOspfSource: OSPF as source with targets bgp or rib
• BgpRouteMapRedistConnectedStaticSource: Connected/Static as source with targets bgp, ospf, or rib

Target Container Models (7):

• BgpRouteMapRedistBgpToOspf, BgpRouteMapRedistBgpToRib
• BgpRouteMapRedistOspfToBgp, BgpRouteMapRedistOspfToRib
• BgpRouteMapRedistConnStaticToBgp, BgpRouteMapRedistConnStaticToOspf, BgpRouteMapRedistConnStaticToRib

Route Map Entry Models (7 crossover variants):

• BgpRouteMapRedistBgpToOspfEntry, BgpRouteMapRedistBgpToRibEntry
• BgpRouteMapRedistOspfToBgpEntry, BgpRouteMapRedistOspfToRibEntry
• BgpRouteMapRedistConnStaticToBgpEntry, BgpRouteMapRedistConnStaticToOspfEntry, BgpRouteMapRedistConnStaticToRibEntry

Match Models (4):

• BgpRouteMapRedistBgpMatch: Full BGP match criteria (for BGP source)
• BgpRouteMapRedistBgpMatchIpv4: IPv4 match criteria for BGP source
• BgpRouteMapRedistSimpleMatch: Simple match criteria (for OSPF/connected-static source)
• BgpRouteMapRedistSimpleMatchIpv4: IPv4 match criteria for OSPF/connected-static source

Set Models (6):

• BgpRouteMapRedistSetToBgp: Full BGP set actions (when target is BGP)
• BgpRouteMapRedistSetToOspf: OSPF set actions (metric, metric_type, tag)
• BgpRouteMapRedistSetToRib: RIB set actions (source_address only)
• BgpRouteMapRedistSetMetric: Metric set action
• BgpRouteMapRedistSetAggregator: Aggregator set configuration
• BgpRouteMapRedistSetIpv4: IPv4 set configuration

Architecture

2-Level OneOf Discrimination Pattern

The BGP route map redistribution model uses a hierarchical oneOf pattern to determine valid configurations:

BgpRouteMapRedistributionBaseModel
|
+-- Level 1: Source Protocol (mutually exclusive)
|   +-- bgp (BgpRouteMapRedistBgpSource)
|   |   +-- Level 2: Target (mutually exclusive)
|   |       +-- ospf  -> BgpRouteMapRedistBgpToOspf
|   |       +-- rib   -> BgpRouteMapRedistBgpToRib
|   |
|   +-- ospf (BgpRouteMapRedistOspfSource)
|   |   +-- Level 2: Target (mutually exclusive)
|   |       +-- bgp   -> BgpRouteMapRedistOspfToBgp
|   |       +-- rib   -> BgpRouteMapRedistOspfToRib
|   |
|   +-- connected_static (BgpRouteMapRedistConnectedStaticSource)
|       +-- Level 2: Target (mutually exclusive)
|           +-- bgp   -> BgpRouteMapRedistConnStaticToBgp
|           +-- ospf  -> BgpRouteMapRedistConnStaticToOspf
|           +-- rib   -> BgpRouteMapRedistConnStaticToRib

Source -> Target Crossover Matrix

The source protocol determines the available match criteria, and the target protocol determines the available set actions. This creates 7 unique crossover variants:

Source	Target	Match Model	Set Model	Entry Model
BGP	OSPF	BgpRouteMapRedistBgpMatch	BgpRouteMapRedistSetToOspf	BgpRouteMapRedistBgpToOspfEntry
BGP	RIB	BgpRouteMapRedistBgpMatch	BgpRouteMapRedistSetToRib	BgpRouteMapRedistBgpToRibEntry
OSPF	BGP	BgpRouteMapRedistSimpleMatch	BgpRouteMapRedistSetToBgp	BgpRouteMapRedistOspfToBgpEntry
OSPF	RIB	BgpRouteMapRedistSimpleMatch	BgpRouteMapRedistSetToRib	BgpRouteMapRedistOspfToRibEntry
Connected/Static	BGP	BgpRouteMapRedistSimpleMatch	BgpRouteMapRedistSetToBgp	BgpRouteMapRedistConnStaticToBgpEntry
Connected/Static	OSPF	BgpRouteMapRedistSimpleMatch	BgpRouteMapRedistSetToOspf	BgpRouteMapRedistConnStaticToOspfEntry
Connected/Static	RIB	BgpRouteMapRedistSimpleMatch	BgpRouteMapRedistSetToRib	BgpRouteMapRedistConnStaticToRibEntry

Key Design Principles

1. Match fields depend on the source protocol: BGP sources have richer match criteria (AS path, communities, origin, etc.), while OSPF and connected/static sources have simpler match criteria (interface, metric, tag, IPv4 address/next-hop).

2. Set fields depend on the target protocol: When redistributing to BGP, the full set of BGP attributes is available. When redistributing to OSPF, only metric, metric_type, and tag are available. When redistributing to RIB, only source_address is available.

3. Source protocols are mutually exclusive (Level 1): Only one of bgp, ospf, or connected_static can be set.

4. Target protocols within a source are mutually exclusive (Level 2): Within each source, only one target can be set.

Model Attributes

BgpRouteMapRedistributionBaseModel

This is the base model containing fields for the 2-level oneOf discrimination.

Attribute	Type	Required	Default	Description
name	str	Yes	None	Redistribution name.
bgp	BgpRouteMapRedistBgpSource	No*	None	BGP as source protocol.
ospf	BgpRouteMapRedistOspfSource	No*	None	OSPF as source protocol.
connected_static	BgpRouteMapRedistConnectedStaticSource	No*	None	Connected/Static as source protocol.
folder	str	No**	None	Folder location. Pattern: ^[a-zA-Z\d\-_. ]+$. Max 64 chars.
snippet	str	No**	None	Snippet location. Pattern: ^[a-zA-Z\d\-_. ]+$. Max 64 chars.
device	str	No**	None	Device location. Pattern: ^[a-zA-Z\d\-_. ]+$. Max 64 chars.

* At most one source protocol (bgp, ospf, or connected_static) can be set.

** Exactly one container (folder/snippet/device) must be provided for create operations

BgpRouteMapRedistributionCreateModel

Inherits all fields from BgpRouteMapRedistributionBaseModel and enforces that exactly one of folder, snippet, or device is provided during creation.

BgpRouteMapRedistributionUpdateModel

Extends BgpRouteMapRedistributionBaseModel by adding:

Attribute	Type	Required	Default	Description
id	UUID	Yes	None	The unique identifier of the route map redistribution

BgpRouteMapRedistributionResponseModel

Extends BgpRouteMapRedistributionBaseModel by adding:

Attribute	Type	Required	Default	Description
id	UUID	Yes	None	The unique identifier of the route map redistribution

Note

The BgpRouteMapRedistributionResponseModel uses extra="ignore" instead of extra="forbid". This means it will silently ignore any extra fields returned by the API that are not defined in the model, providing resilience against API changes.

Source Protocol Models

Exceptions

The models perform strict validation and will raise ValueError in scenarios such as:

• When creating a redistribution (BgpRouteMapRedistributionCreateModel), if not exactly one container (folder, snippet, or device) is provided.
• When more than one source protocol (bgp, ospf, connected_static) is set (Level 1 oneOf violation).
• When more than one target protocol is set within a source (Level 2 oneOf violation).
• When an entry sequence number is outside the valid range (1-65535).
• When an entry action is not permit or deny.
• When a metric action is not set, add, or substract.

Model Validators

Level 1 OneOf Validator in BgpRouteMapRedistributionBaseModel

• validate_source_type: Ensures that at most one source protocol is set. If more than one of bgp, ospf, or connected_static is configured, it raises a ValueError.

Level 2 OneOf Validators in Source Protocol Models

• validate_target_type (in BgpRouteMapRedistBgpSource): Ensures that only one of ospf or rib is set for BGP source.

• validate_target_type (in BgpRouteMapRedistOspfSource): Ensures that only one of bgp or rib is set for OSPF source.

• validate_target_type (in BgpRouteMapRedistConnectedStaticSource): Ensures that only one of bgp, ospf, or rib is set for connected/static source.

Container Validation in BgpRouteMapRedistributionCreateModel

• validate_container_type: After model initialization, this validator checks that exactly one of the container fields (folder, snippet, or device) is provided. If not, it raises a ValueError.
