Configuring BGP basic functions

NOTE:

This section does not differentiate between BGP and MP-BGP.

Since BGP employs TCP, you must specify IP addresses of peers, which may not be neighboring routers.

Using logical links can also establish BGP peer relationships.

In general, IP addresses of loopback interfaces are used to improve stability of BGP connections.

Configuration prerequisites

The neighboring nodes are accessible to each other at the network layer.

Creating a BGP connection

A router ID is the unique identifier of a BGP router in an AS.

To ensure the uniqueness of a router ID and enhance network reliability, you can specify in BGP

view the IP address of a local loopback interface as the router ID.

If no router ID is specified in BGP view, the global router ID is used.

If the global router ID is used and then it is removed, the system will select a new router ID.

If the router ID is specified in BGP view, using the undo router-id command can make the system
select a new router ID.

To create a BGP connection:
