Basic configuration tasks required for BGP4
NOTE
The software also contains an option to end the session with a BGP4 neighbor and thus clear the
routes learned from the neighbor. Unlike this clear option, the option for shutting down the neighbor
can be saved in the startup-config file and thus can prevent the Layer 3 switch from establishing a
BGP4 session with the neighbor even after reloading the software.
NOTE
If you notice that a particular BGP4 neighbor never establishes a session with the Brocade Layer 3
switch, check the Layer 3 switch running-config and startup-config files to see whether the
configuration contains a command that is shutting down the neighbor. The neighbor may have been
shut down previously by an administrator.
