Configuring Neighbors

Use the neighbor remote-as command to create a BGP peering session with a given
BGP peer identified by its IP address in a given AS. Note that the neighbor
remote-as command must be issued on both routers on either side of a BGP session
for the BGP session to become established.
Consider the simple network structure shown in Figure 10 on page 25. Routers LA
and SanJose are IBGP peers within AS 873. Router SanJose has an EBGP peer, router
Boston, in AS 17.

Figure 10: Configuring Neighbors

The following commands configure router Boston with router SanJose as a peer:
The following commands configure router SanJose with router LA and router Boston
as peers:
The following commands configure router LA with router SanJose as a peer:
neighbor remote-as
host1(config-router)#bgp router-id 10.25.1.1
The new BGP identifier is used in open messages sent after you issue the
command. To use the new BGP identifier for sessions already in the established
state, you must use the clear ip bgp command to perform a hard clear.
Use the no version to restore the router ID as the BGP identifier.
