fortios_routerbgp_neighbor default weight

[zippanto]

Hi,

We are testing on FortiOS 7.2.8 and it seems on the firewall the default weight value for a BGP neighbor is 4294967295. This seems incorrect even according to the CLI:

weight    Enter an integer value from <0> to <65535> (default: <0>).

Default value:

FW (192.168.0.1) # show full-configuration
config neighbor
    edit "192.168.0.1"
        .
        .
        .
        set weight 4294967295

Not sure if this is fixed in any future FortiOS version. However we are unable to set this default value using terraform as it only allows values 0 - 65535.

Please advise.

Thanks.

Hi @zippanto ,

Thank you for your question. I have noticed this behavior as well, and it may be an intentional design choice. This also applies to the 'keep-alive-timer' and 'connect-timer,' which are designed as integers without assigned default values. In some cases, a value of 0 can have specific meaning, so FOS might use the highest unsigned 32-bit integer (4294967295) to represent that these arguments are non-functional. However, I will reach out to the API team for further clarification and to confirm the correct procedure for unsetting these values via the API.

Thanks,
Maxx
