To enable BGP:
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.
system-view N/A
2. Configure a global router ID.
router id router-id
By default, no global router ID is
configured, and BGP uses the
highest loopback interface IP
address—if any—as the router ID. If
no loopback interface IP address is
available, BGP uses the highest
physical interface IP address as the
route ID regardless of the interface
status.
3. Enable BGP and enter BGP
view or BGP-VPN instance
view.
• Enable BGP and enter BGP
view:
bgp as-number
• Enable BGP and enter
BGP-VPN instance view:
a. bgp as-number
b. ip vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name
By default, BGP is not enabled.
A router can reside in only one AS,
so the router can run only one BGP
process.
To enter BGP-VPN instance view, the
specified VPN instance must already
exist and have the route distinguisher
(RD) configured. For more
information, see MPLS Configuration
Guide.
4. Configure the router ID.

auto-select }
By default, the global router ID is
used.
The auto-select keyword is
supported only in BGP-VPN instance
view.
