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. Ignore the ORIGINATOR_ID
attribute.
peer
{ group-name | ipv6-address
[ prefix-length ] }
ignore-originatorid
By default, BGP does not ignore
the ORIGINATOR_ID attribute.
Make sure this command does not
result in a routing loop.
After you execute this command,
BGP also ignores the
CLUSTER_LIST attribute.
Configuring a BGP confederation
BGP confederation provides another way to reduce IBGP connections in an AS.
A confederation contains sub-ASs. In each sub-AS, IBGP peers are fully meshed. Sub-ASs establish
EBGP connections in between.
Configuring a BGP confederation
After you split an AS into multiple sub-ASs, configure a router in a sub-AS as follows:
1. Enable BGP and specify the AS number of the router. For more information, see "Enabling
BGP."
2. Specify the
confederation ID. From an outsider's perspective, the sub-ASs of the confederation
is a single AS, which is identified by the confederation ID.
3. If the router needs to establish EBGP connections to other sub-ASs, you must specify the
peering sub-ASs in the confederation.
A confederation can contain a maximum of 32 sub-ASs. The AS number of a sub-AS is effective only
in the confederation.
To configure a BGP confederation:

3. Configure a confederation
ID.
confederation id
as-number
By default, no confederation ID is
configured.
4. Specify confederation peer
sub-ASs in the
confederation.
confederation peer-as
as-number-list
By default, no confederation peer
sub-AS is specified.
Configuring confederation compatibility
If any routers in the confederation do not comply with RFC 3065, enable confederation compatibility
to allow the router to work with those routers.
To configure confederation compatibility:
