Parameter
group-name: Peer group name.
peer-address: IP address of a peer.
interface-type: Interface type.
interface-number: Name of the interface.
Description
Using the peer connect-interface command, you can configure to allow the
internal BGP session to use any operable interface that connects with TCP. Using
the undo peer connect-interface command, you can restore to use the best local
address to implement TCP connection.
By default, BGP uses the best local address to implement TCP connection.
Generally, BGP uses the best local address to implement TCP connection. In order
to make the TCP connection valid even when the interface fails, the internal BGP
session can be configures to be allowed to use any operable TCP-connected
interface (For example, Loopback interface).
Example
Allow the internal BGP session to use any operable interface that connects with
TCP.
