BGP (EI Mode Only)
The Switch supports Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), a layer 3 Unicast routing protocol that maintains a table of IP
networks or "prefixes" which designate network reachability among autonomous systems. BGP makes routing
decisions based on path, network policies, and/or rule sets.

Description
Use the drop-down menu to Add or Delete the BGP AS number. When the BGP
protocol starts, it must belong to a single AS. The user must set the AS number
before configuring any of the other attributes. When the BGP process is deleted, all
peer and route information from BGP will be deleted. Route entries redistributed from
BGP must also be canceled.
Enter a BGP AS number between 1 and 65535.
