+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols bgp neighbor <address|interface> local-role
+ <role> [strict]
+
+ BGP roles are defined in RFC :rfc:`9234` and provide an easy way to
+ add route leak prevention, detection and mitigation. The local Role
+ value is negotiated with the new BGP Role capability which has a
+ built-in check of the corresponding value. In case of a mismatch the
+ new OPEN Roles Mismatch Notification <2, 11> would be sent.
+ The correct Role pairs are:
+
+ Provider - Customer
+
+ Peer - Peer
+
+ RS-Server - RS-Client
+
+ If :cfgcmd:`strict` is set the BGP session won’t become established
+ until the BGP neighbor sets local Role on its side. This
+ configuration parameter is defined in RFC :rfc:`9234` and is used to
+ enforce the corresponding configuration at your counter-parts side.
+
+ Routes that are sent from provider, rs-server, or the peer local-role
+ (or if received by customer, rs-client, or the peer local-role) will
+ be marked with a new Only to Customer (OTC) attribute.
+
+ Routes with this attribute can only be sent to your neighbor if your
+ local-role is provider or rs-server. Routes with this attribute can
+ be received only if your local-role is customer or rs-client.
+
+ In case of peer-peer relationship routes can be received only if OTC
+ value is equal to your neighbor AS number.
+
+ All these rules with OTC will help to detect and mitigate route leaks
+ and happen automatically if local-role is set.
