PurposeCommand or Action
Assigns the neighbor a remote autonomous system
number.
remote-as as-number
Example:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# remote-as
1
Step 6
(Optional) Provides a description of the neighbor. The
description is used to save comments and does not affect
software function.
description text
Example:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)#
description neighbor 172.16.1.1
Step 7
Enables Message Digest 5 (MD5) authentication on the
TCP connection between the two BGP neighbors.
password { clear | encrypted } password
Example:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# password
encrypted 123abc
Step 8
Terminates any active sessions for the specified neighbor
and removes all associated routing information.
shutdown
Example:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# shutdown
Step 9
Set the timers for the BGP neighbor.
timers keepalive hold-time
Example:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# timers
12000 200
Step 10
Allows iBGP sessions to use the primary IP address from
a specific interface as the local address when forming an
iBGP session with a neighbor.
update-source type interface-id
Example:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)#
update-source gigabitEthernet 0/1/5/0
Step 11
Enters VPN neighbor address family configuration mode.address-family vpnv4 unicast
Example:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)#
address-family vpvn4 unicast
Step 12
Specifies a routing policy for an inbound route. The
policy can be used to filter routes or modify route
attributes.
route-policy route-policy-name in
Example:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr-af)#
route-policy pe-pe-vpn-in in
