Configures a PE iBGP neighbor.
Step 6
remote-as as-number
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# remote-as 1
Assigns the neighbor a remote autonomous system number.
Step 7
description text
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# description neighbor 172.16.1.1
(Optional) Provides a description of the neighbor. The description is used to save comments and does not affect software
function.
Step 8
password { clear | encrypted } password
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# password encrypted 123abc
Enables Message Digest 5 (MD5) authentication on the TCP connection between the two BGP neighbors.
Step 9
shutdown
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# shutdown
Terminates any active sessions for the specified neighbor and removes all associated routing information.
Step 10
timers keepalive hold-time
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# timers 12000 200
Set the timers for the BGP neighbor.
Step 11
update-source type interface-id
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# update-source gigabitEthernet 0/1/5/0
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.
Step 12
address-family vpnv4 unicast
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# address-family vpvn4 unicast
Enters VPN neighbor address family configuration mode.
