enabled?: boolean

Whether control of advertisement of the prefix to the Internet is enabled to be performed via BGP signal

modified_at?: string | null

Last time BGP signaling control was toggled. This field is null if BGP signaling has never been enabled.

formatdate-time

cidr?: string

IP Prefix in Classless Inter-Domain Routing format.

created_at?: string

formatdate-time

modified_at?: string

formatdate-time

on_demand?: OnDemand { advertised, advertised_modified_at, on_demand_enabled, on_demand_locked }

advertised?: boolean | null

Prefix advertisement status to the Internet. This field is only not ‘null’ if on demand is enabled.
