NOTE
When using the CLI, you set global level parameters at the BGP CONFIG level of the CLI. You can reach the BGP CONFIG
level by entering the router bgp command at the global CONFIG level.
Some parameter changes take effect immediately while others do not take full effect until the device sessions with its neighbors are reset.
Some parameters do not take effect until the device is rebooted.
