Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Enables BGP and assigns the AS number to the local
BGP speaker. The AS number can be a 16-bit integer
or a 32-bit integer in the form of a higher 16-bit
decimal number and a lower 16-bit decimal numbe in
xx.xx format.
Configures the IPv4 or IPv6 address and AS number
for a remote BGP peer. The ip-address format is
x.x.x.x. The ipv6-address format is A:B::C:D.
(Optional) Adds a description for the neighbor. The
description is an alphanumeric string up to 80
characters .
(Optional) Adds the keepalive and hold time BGP
timer values for the neighbor. The range is from 0 to
3600 seconds. The default is 60 seconds for the
keepalive time and 180 seconds for the hold time.
(Optional). Administratively shuts down this BGP
neighbor. This command triggers an automatic
notification and session reset for the BGP neighbor
sessions.
Enters neighbor address family configuration mode for
the unicast IPv4 address family.
(Optional) Displays information about BGP peers.
(Optional) Saves this configuration change.
