Step Command Remarks 
2.  Enter BGP view or BGP-VPN 
instance view. 
•  Enter BGP view: 
bgp as-number 
•  Enter BGP-VPN instance view:
a.  bgp as-number 
b.  ip vpn-instance 
vpn-instance-name
 
N/A 
3.  Specify the source interface 
for establishing TCP 
connections to a peer or peer 
group. 
peer { group-name | ip-address } 
connect-interface interface-type 
interface-number 
By default, BGP uses the outbound 
interface of the best route to the 
BGP peer or peer group as the 
source interface for establishing a 
TCP connection to the peer or peer 
group. 
 
To specify the source interface for TCP connections (IPv6):

3.  Specify the source interface 
for establishing TCP 
connections to a peer or peer 
group. 
peer { group-name | 
ipv6-address } connect-interface 
interface-type interface-number 
By default, BGP uses the outbound 
interface of the best route to the 
BGP peer or peer group as the 
source interface for establishing a 
TCP connection to the peer or peer 
group. 
 
Generating BGP routes 
BGP can generate routes in the following ways: 
•  Advertise local networks. 
•  Redistribute IGP routes. 
Injecting a local network 
Perform this task to inject a network in the local routing table to the BGP routing table, so BGP can 
advertise the network to BGP peers. The ORIGIN attribute of BGP routes advertised in this way is IGP. 
You can also use a routing policy to control route advertisement. 
The specified network must be available and active in the local IP routing table. 
To inject a local network (IPv4):
