Step Description Command Keys
5 Set the router identifier. esr(config-bgp)# router-id <ID> <ID> – router identifier, defined
as AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD where
each part takes values of
[0..255].
6 Set the Route-Reflector identifier of the
cluster to which the router BGP process
belongs. (If necessary)
esr(config-bgp)# cluster-id <ID> <ID> – Route-Reflector cluster
identifier, defined as
AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD where each
part takes values of [0..255].
7 Enable generation and sending of a
default route, if the default route is in
the FIB routing table. (optionally)
esr(config-bgp)# default-
information-originate
8 Set the time interval after which the
connection with the opposing party is
checked. (Optional)
esr(config-bgp-af)# timers
keepalive <TIME>
<TIME> – time in seconds,
takes values of [1..65535].
Default value: 60 seconds.
9 Set time interval after which the
opposing party is considered to be
unavailable. (Optional)
esr(config-bgp-af)# timers
holdtime <TIME>
<TIME> – time in seconds,
takes values of [1..65535].
Default value: 180 seconds.
10 Set the time of minimum and maximum
delay during which it is prohibited to
establish a connection in order to
prevent frequent disconnections
(Optional)
esr(config-bgp-af)# timers error-
wait <TIME1> <TIME2>
<TIME1> – minimum delay
time in seconds, takes values
of [1..65535].
<TIME2> – maximum delay
time in seconds, takes values
of [1..65535].
11 Define the global algorithm of neighbor
authentication (if necessary).
esr(config-bgp)# authentication
algorithm <ALGORITHM>
<ALGORITHM> – encryption
algorithm:
· md5 – password is
encrypted by md5 algorithm.
Default value: Encryption is not
used
