bgp set peer-host
114 SSR Command Line Interface Reference Manual
The set-pref metric works as a lower limit, below which the imported LOCAL_PREF
may not set the GateD preference. For INTERNAL, IGP, and ROUTING hosts, use the
group command to set the metric-out. Specify a number from 0 - 255. This parameter
applies only to INTERNAL, IGP, and ROUTING hosts only.
local-as <num>
Identifies the autonomous system which the router is representing to this group of
peers. The default is the one configured using the set autonomous_system command.
Specify a number from 1 - 65534.
ignore-first-as-hop
Some routers, known as Route Servers, are capable of propagating routes without
appending their own AS to the AS path. By default, GateD will drop such routes.
Specifying ignore-first-as-hop here or on either the create peer-group or set peer-host
CLI commands disables this feature. This option should only be used if it is positively
known that the peer is a route server and not a normal router.
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
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 inefficient routes to be
followed, but it may be needed in some cases to deal with broken bridged
interconnect media (in cases where the routers in the shared medium do not really
have full connectivity to each other) or broken political situations. Use only for
external peer hosts.
preference <num>
Specifies the preference used for routes learned from these peers. This can differ from
the default BGP preference set in the bgp set preference statement, so that GateD can
prefer routes from one peer, or group of peer, over others. This preference may be
explicitly overridden by import policy. Specify a number from 0 - 255.
preference2 <num>
In case of 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
