For Aviatrix Spoke Gateways, BGP must be enabled at gateway creation.

When an Aviatrix gateway is launched with BGP enabled, the gateway runs a BGP session to an external router to dynamically exchange routes. It also establishes an IPSEC tunnel to the router for packet forwarding (BGP is run over IPsec only).

A Spoke gateway with BGP enabled has a few restrictions compared to a non-BGP Spoke.
