BGP CONFIGURATION STEPS
This section lists steps to configure BGP.
Step 1: Enter into Interface Configuration Mode.
ALU(config)# interface <name>
Example:
ALU(config)# interface GigabitEthernet3/0
ALU(config-if GigabitEthernet3/0)#
Step 2: Administratively bring up the interface
ALU(config-if <interface-name>)# no shutdown
Example:
ALU(config-if GigabitEthernet3/0)# no shutdown
Step 3: Configure IP address for the interface
ALU(config-if <interface-name>)# ip address {<ip-
address subnet-mask>|<ip-address/prefix-length>}
Example:
ALU(config-if GigabitEthernet3/0)# ip address
20.20.20.20/24
Step 4: Enable BGP Router. This enters the BGP Router Configuration Mode.
