Hi,

I am trying to bring up a BGP session (linkstate family, if it matters).

Following this guide https://github.com/opendaylight/docs/blob/master/docs/user-guide/bgpcep-guide/bgp/bgp-user-guide-linkstate-family.rst

When I am making a request using

as URL `/restconf/config/openconfig-network-instance:network-instances/network-instance/global-bgp/openconfig-network-instance:protocols`

and as body 

    <protocol xmlns="http://openconfig.net/yang/network-instance">

        <name>nl-ams02c-ispbgp01</name>

        <identifier xmlns:x="http://openconfig.net/yang/policy-types">x:BGP</identifier>

        <bgp xmlns="urn:opendaylight:params:xml:ns:yang:bgp:openconfig-extensions">

            <global>

                <config>

                    <router-id>10.20.14.1</router-id>

                    <as>xxx</as>

                </config>

                <afi-safis>

                    <afi-safi>

                        <afi-safi-name>LINKSTATE</afi-safi-name>

                    </afi-safi>

                </afi-safis>

            </global>

        </bgp>

    </protocol>

It seems that the family was added to the BGP speaker, I am checking this with

    In [5]: url = "/restconf/operational/bgp-rib:bgp-rib"

    

    In [6]: requests.get('http://{}:{}{}'.format(odl['api']['ipaddr'],odl['api']['port'],url), auth=auth).json()

    Out[6]: 

    {'bgp-rib': {'rib': [{'id': 'nl-ams02c-ispbgp01',

        'loc-rib': {'tables': [{'afi': 'bgp-linkstate:linkstate-address-family',

           'safi': 'bgp-linkstate:linkstate-subsequent-address-family',

           'bgp-linkstate:linkstate-routes': {},

           'attributes': {'uptodate': True}}, ...

**Question #1**

I do not know though how to check and where should I expect to see the local IP address (10.20.14.1 in the above example) that is used for this BGP session. What would be the HTTP GET request for that ?

Next, when I am trying to configure the BGP peer using

as URL `/restconf/config/openconfig-network-instance:network-instances/network-instance/global-bgp/openconfig-network-instance:protocols/protocol/openconfig-policy-types:BGP/nl-ams02c-ispbgp01/bgp/neighbors`

and as body 

    <neighbor xmlns="urn:opendaylight:params:xml:ns:yang:bgp:openconfig-extensions">

        <neighbor-address>10.20.14.0</neighbor-address>

        <afi-safis>

            <afi-safi>

                <afi-safi-name>LINKSTATE</afi-safi-name>

            </afi-safi>

        </afi-safis>

    </neighbor>

I get the following error:

    {'errors': {'error': [{'error-type': 'protocol',

        'error-tag': 'malformed-message',

        'error-message': 'Error parsing input: Child "protocol" was not found in parent schema node "(urn:opendaylight:params:xml:ns:yang:bgp:openconfig-extensions?revision=2017-12-07)neighbors"',

        'error-info': 'Child "protocol" was not found in parent schema node "(urn:opendaylight:params:xml:ns:yang:bgp:openconfig-extensions?revision=2017-12-07)neighbors"'}]}}

**Question #2** 

Could you please help me and advise on the correct HTTP call to configure a BGP peer ? The URL seems not to be the correct one according to the documentation

PS. I am running OpenDaylight Oxygen-SR2
