Cisco IOS XR Routing Configuration Guide
Step 8
remote-as as-number
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# remote-as
1
Assigns the neighbor a remote autonomous system number.
Step 9
description text
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)#
description neighbor 172.16.1.1
(Optional) Provides a description of the neighbor. The
description is used to save comments and does not affect
software function.
Step 10
password {clear | encrypted} password
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# password
encrypted 123abc
Enables Message Digest 5 (MD5) authentication on the
TCP connection between the two BGP neighbors.
Step 11
shutdown
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# shutdown
Terminates any active sessions for the specified neighbor
and removes all associated routing information.
Step 12
timers keepalive hold-time
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# timers
12000 200
Set the timers for the BGP neighbor.
Step 13
update-source interface-type interface-number
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)#
update-source gigabitEthernet 0/1/5/0
Allows IBGP sessions to use the primary IP address from a
specific interface as the local address when forming an
IBGP session with a neighbor.
Step 14
address-family {vpnv4 unicast | vpnv6 unicast}
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)#
address-family vpvn4 unicast
Enters VPN neighbor address family configuration mode.
Step 15
route-policy route-policy-name in
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr-af)#
route-policy pe-pe-vpn-in in
Specifies a routing policy for an inbound route. The policy
can be used to filter routes or modify route attributes.
