holdtime seconds
Set the holdtime in seconds. The holdtime is reset to its initial value every time either a
KEEPALIVE or an UPDATE message is received from the neighbor. If the holdtime expires the
session is dropped. The default is 90 seconds. Neighboring systems negotiate the holdtime used
when the connection is established in the OPEN messages. Each neighbor announces its config-
ured holdtime; the smaller one is then agreed upon.
holdtime min seconds
The minimal accepted holdtime in seconds. This value must be greater than or equal to 3.
listen on address
Specify the local IP address bgp should listen on.
listen on 127.0.0.1
log updates
Log received and sent updates.
network address/prefix [set ...] network (inet|inet6) static [set ...] network (inet|inet6) con-
nected [set ...] Announce the specified network as belonging to our AS. If set to connected,
routes to directly attached networks will be announced. If set to static, all static routes will be
announced.
network 192.168.7.0/24
It is possible to set default AS path attributes per network statement:
network 192.168.7.0/24 set localpref 220
See also the ATTRIBUTE SET section.
nexthop qualify via (bgp|default)
If set to bgp, bgp may use BGP routes to verify nexthops. If set to default, bgp may use the
default route to verify nexthops. By default bgp will only use static routes or routes added by
other routing daemons like ospf.
rde med compare (always|strict)
If set to always, the MED attributes will always be compared. The default is strict, where the
MED is only compared between peers belonging to the same AS.
rde route-age (ignore|evaluate)
If set to evaluate, the best path selection will not only be based on the path attributes but also
on the age of the route, giving preference to the older, typically more stable, route. In this case
the decision process is no longer deterministic. The default is ignore.
route-collector (yes|no)
If set to yes, the route selection process is turned off. The default is no.
router-id address
Set the router ID to the given IP address, which must be local to the machine.
router-id 10.0.0.1
If not given, the BGP ID is determined as the biggest IP address assigned to the local machine.
Neighbors
BGP establishes TCP connections to other BGP speakers called neighbors. Each neighbor is
specified by a neighbor section, which allows properties to be set specifically for that neighbor:
neighbor 10.0.0.2 {
remote-as 65002
descr ”a neighbor”
}
Multiple neighbors can be grouped together by a group section. Each neighbor section within
the group section inherits all properties from its group:
