nxos_bgp_neighbor_address_family: add support for lesser-used BGP features

[andrewbonney]

SUMMARY

During updates to use the newer bgp modules, we identified the following commands which remain unsupported:

• Remote-as as a route-map
• Passwords in BGP neighbor configuration

Example:

router bgp 67400
  neighbor 2001:4000:4000:fff1::/64 remote-as route-map my-route-map
    password 3 some-hex-string

• Rewrite-rt-asn for ipv4 mvpn (similar to the already supported rewrite-evpn-rt-asn)

Example:

router bgp 67400
  neighbor 10.0.0.1
    address-family ipv4 mvpn
      rewrite-rt-asn

ISSUE TYPE

• Feature Idea

COMPONENT NAME

• nxos_bgp_neighbor_address_family

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The former options are being used in our case to interact with OpenStack Neutron BGP instances. The latter is used for tenant routed multicast as shown in https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/dcn/nx-os/nexus9000/104x/configuration/vxlan/cisco-nexus-9000-series-nx-os-vxlan-configuration-guide--release-104x/m_configuring_tenant_routed_multicast_93x.html

@andrewbonney Please find the below responses:

• Remote-as as a route-map - this seems to be a feature request for nxos_bgp_global and not the neighbor_address_family module. I will add this option as a part of that.

• Passwords in BGP neighbor configuration - this is already supported in the nxos_bgp_global module. Ref: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/cisco/nxos/nxos_bgp_global_module.html#parameter-config/neighbors/password

• Rewrite-rt-asn for ipv4 mvpn - This is a valid for the address_family module. I will work on this.

Thanks. Looks like I missed the password option in the docs and will try it out.

Thanks for adding this so promptly
