Neighbor Update-Source; Network (Bgp Router Config) - NETGEAR M6100 Series Reference Manual

neighbor update-source

Use this command in BGP Router Config mode to configure BGP to use a specific IP
address as the source address for the TCP connection with a neighbor. This IP address must
be the IP address configured on the peer as its neighbor address for this router.
The IP address used as the source address in IP packets sent to a neighbor must be the
same address used to configure the local system as a neighbor of the neighbor router. In
other words, if the update source is configured, it must be the same IP address used in the
neighbor remote-as command on the peer.
It is common to use an IP address on a loopback interface because a loopback interface is
always reachable, as long as any routing interface is up. The peering session can stay up as
long as the loopback interface remains reachable. If you use an IP address on a routing
interface, then the peering session will go down if that routing interface goes down.
Issue this command in Peer Template Configuration Mode to add it to a peer template.
Default When no update source is configured, TCP connections use the primary IPv4 address on the outgoing
interface to the neighbor.
Format
neighbor ip-address update-source interface
Mode BGP Router Config

Parameter Description
ip-address The neighbor's IP address. This is the IP address on the link that connects the two peers.
interface The primary IPv4 address on this interface is used as the source IP address for the TCP connection
with the neighbor.
no neighbor update-source
This command configures BGP to use the primary IPv4 address on the outgoing interface to
the neighbor for the TCP connection.

network (BGP Router Config)

This command configures BGP to advertise an address prefix.The prefix is only advertised if
the common routing table includes a nonBGP route with the same prefix. The route may be a
connected route, a static route, or a dynamic route from another routing protocol.
BGP accepts up to 64 networks per address family. The network command may specify a
default route (network 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0).
