Configuring Basic BGP
Configuring BGP Peers
You can configure a BGP peer within a BGP process. Each BGP peer has an associated keepalive timer
and hold timers. You can set these timers either globally or for each BGP peer. A peer configuration
overrides a global configuration.
Note You must configure the address family under neighbor configuration mode for each peer.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Ensure that you have enabled the BGP feature (see the “Enabling the BGP Feature” section on
page 10-10).
Ensure that you are in the correct VDC (or use the switchto vdc command).
SUMMARY STEPS
1. config t
2. router bgp autonomous-system-number
3. neighbor {ip-address | ipv6-address} remote-as as-number
4. description text
5. timers keepalive-time hold-time
6. shutdown
7. address-family {ipv4 | ipv6} {unicast | multicast}
8. show bgp {ipv4 | ipv6} {unicast | multicast} neighbors
9. copy running-config startup-config
Command Purpose
shutdown
Example:
switch(config-router)# shutdown
Gracefully shuts down BGP.
