MAC address. The router ID can also be manually configured in the

config>router>bgp router-id
Note that if a new router ID is configured, protocols are not automatically restarted with the new
router ID. The next time a protocol is initialized the new router ID is used. An interim period of
time can occur when different protocols use different router IDs. To force the new router ID, issue
