[FEATURE]: BGP AF Route Aggregation

[fzakfeld]

Describe the solution you'd like I need to configure BGP route aggregation.

e.g.

router bgp 64701
...
 address-family ipv6 unicast
  network 2a00:12e8:700:103::/64
  aggregate-address 2a00:12e8:700:103::/64

This can be done with the RESTCONF resource sonic-bgp-global:sonic-bgp-global/BGP_GLOBALS_AF_AGGREGATE_ADDR

Describe alternatives you've considered Use sonic_api module

We will update our sonic_bgp_af resource module to add support for the "aggregate-address" configuration option.

[kerry-meyer]

Instead of using the "sonic REST" path shown above, we are implementing this feature using the corresponding Openconfig path:

Example:

path: /openconfig-network-instance:network-instances/network-instance[name=Vrf1]/protocols/protocol[identifier=BGP][name=bgp]/bgp/global/afi-safis/afi-safi[afi-safi-name=IPV6_UNICAST]/aggregate-address-config

payload ={"aggregate-address-config": {"aggregate-address": [{"prefix": "2a00:12e8::/60", "config": {"prefix": "2a00:12e8::/60"}}]}}

This request has been fulfilled by the merging of Add aggregate address configuration support to BGP AF module #398.
