Note:
The operations described in this section applyto both BGP and MP-BGP.
As BGP is bsed on TCP connections, you need to assign IP addresses for BGP
peers.BGP peers are not necessarily the neighbor routers. A BGP peer can also be
obtained through logical links. Loopback interfaces are usually used to establish
BGP connections for stability.
5.3.1 Configuration Prerequisites
Before performing basic BGP configuration, you need to ensure:
Network layer connectivity between adjacent nodes.
Before performing basic BGP configuration, make sure the following are available.
Local AS number and router ID
IPv4 address and AS number of the peers
Source interface of update packets.
