BGP parameters
The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing protocol is supported by TransPort routers. This page
contains the configuration parameters used to control the behavior of BGP. Most of the
configuration is controlled by a configuration file (raw text) named bgp.cnf. This file would
normally be created in a text editor on a computer and loaded onto the router. The router
contains a simple editor that can be used to modify the file. The configuration parameters
described here mainly define what action is to be taken when errors occur, and specify the
configuration file to be used.
Enable BGP
When enabled, enables BGP routing.
BGP Configuration Filename
The configuration file to use is selected from this drop-down list. The default filename is
bgp.cnf. An error message will be displayed if the specified file cannot be found.
Load Config file
Click this button to load the file specified from the drop-down list. The contents of the file will
be visible in the edit window which appears below the button.
Save Config File
If the edit functions are used to modify the file, it can be saved back to the filing system by
clicking this button.
Restart BGP after configuration file is saved
When enabled, the router restarts routing using BGP after the file has been saved using the
above Save button.
