SSR Command Line Interface Reference Manual 107
bgp set peer-group
generate-default enabled|disabled
Specifies whether the router should generate a default route when BGP receives a
valid update from its peer. If this option is not specified, then the generation of default
route is enabled.
gateway <ipaddr>
If a network is not shared with a peer, this option specifies a router on an attached
network to be used as the next hop router for routes received from this neighbor. This
field is used for EBGP Multihop. The IP address must be a host address on a locally
attached network.
next-hop-self
This option causes the next hop in route advertisements set to this peer or group of
peers to be set to our own router's address even if it would normally be possible to
send a third-party next hop. Use of this option may cause efficient routes to be
followed, but it may be needed in some cases to deal with broken bridged
interconnect media (in cases where the routers on the shared medium do not really
have full connectivity to each other) or broken political situations. Use only for
EXTERNAL groups.
preference <num>
Specifies the preference used for routes learned from these peers. Specify a number
from 0 - 255.
preference2 <num>
In case of a preference tie, this option (the second preference), may be used to break
the tie. The default value is 0. Specify a number from 0 - 255.
local-address <ipaddr>
Specifies the address to be used on the local end of the TCP connection with the peer
or with the peer's gateway when the gateway option is used. A session with an
external peer will only be opened when an interface with the appropriate local
address (through which the peer or gateway address is directly reachable). In either
case incoming connections will only be recognized as matching a configured peer if
they are addressed to the configured local address. Use only for INTERNAL,
ROUTING, and IGP groups. It should be one of the interface addresses.
hold-time <num>
Specifies the hold time value to use when negotiating the connection with this peer, in
seconds. If BGP does not receive a keepalive, update, or notification message from a
peer within the period specified in the Hold Time field of the BGP Open message,
then the BGP connection will be closed. The value must be either 0 (no keepalives will
be sent) or at least 6.
version 2|3|4
Specifies the version of the BGP protocol to use with this peer. If not specified, only
the specified version will be offered. Specify 2, 3, or 4.
passive
Specifies that active OPENs to this peer should not be attempted. BGP would wait for
