Basic configuration tasks required for BGP4
NOTE
If the Layer 3 switch has multiple neighbors with similar attributes, you can simplify configuration by
configuring a peer group, then adding individual neighbors to it. The configuration steps are similar,
except you specify a peer group name instead of a neighbor IP address when configuring the
neighbor parameters, then add individual neighbors to the peer group. Refer to
NOTE
The Layer 3 switch attempts to establish a BGP4 session with a neighbor as soon as you enter a
command specifying the neighbor IP address. If you want to completely configure the neighbor
parameters before the Layer 3 switch establishes a session with the neighbor, you can
administratively shut down the neighbor. Refer to
“Administratively shutting down a session with a
To add a BGP4 neighbor with IP address 192.168.22.26, enter the following command.
Brocade(config-bgp-router)#neighbor 192.168.22.26
The neighbor ip-addr must be a valid IP address.
The neighbor command has some additional parameters, as shown in the following syntax:
Syntax: [no] neighbor ip-addr | peer-group-name
[advertisement-interval num]
[capability orf prefixlist [send | receive]]
[default-originate [route-map map-name]]
[description string]
[distribute-list in | out num,num,... | ACL-num in | out]
[ebgp-multihop [num]]
[filter-list in | out num,num,... | ACL-num in | out | weight]
[maximum-prefix num [threshold] [teardown]]
[next-hop-self]
[nlri multicast | unicast | multicast unicast]
[password [0 | 1] string]
[prefix-list string in | out]
[remote-as as-number]
[remove-private-as]
[route-map in | out map-name]
[route-reflector-client]
[send-community]
[soft-reconfiguration inbound]
[shutdown]
[timers keep-alive num hold-time num]
[unsuppress-map map-name]
[update-source ip-addr | ethernet port | loopback num | ve num]
[weight num]
The ip-addr | peer-group-name parameter indicates whether you are configuring an individual
neighbor or a peer group. If you specify a neighbor IP address, you are configuring that individual
neighbor. If you specify a peer group name, you are configuring a peer group. Refer to
