Cisco IOS XR Routing Configuration Guide
Configuring BGP as a PE-CE Protocol
Perform this task to configure BGP on the PE and establish PE-CE communication using BGP.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. configure 
2. router bgp as-number 
3. vrf vrf-name 
4. bgp router-id ip-address 
5. label-allocation-mode per-ce 
6. address-family {ipv4 | ipv6} unicast 
7. network {ip-address/prefix-length | ip-address mask} 
8. aggregate-address address/mask-length 
9. exit 
10. neighbor ip-address 
11. remote-as as-number 
12. password {clear | encrypted} password 
13. ebgp-multihop [ttl-value] 
14. address-family {ipv4 {unicast | labeled-unicast} | ipv6 unicast} 
15. site-of-origin [as-number:nn | ip-address:nn] 
16. as-override 
17. allowas-in [as-occurrence-number] 
Step 5
end
or
commit
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr-af)# end
or
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr-af)# commit
Saves configuration changes.
• When you issue the end command, the system prompts 
you to commit changes:
Uncommitted changes found, commit them before 
exiting(yes/no/cancel)?
[cancel]:
–
Entering yes saves configuration changes to the 
running configuration file, exits the configuration 
session, and returns the router to EXEC mode.
–
Entering no exits the configuration session and 
returns the router to EXEC mode without 
committing the configuration changes.
–
Entering cancel leaves the router in the current 
configuration session without exiting or 
committing the configuration changes.
• Use the commit command to save the configuration 
changes to the running configuration file and remain 
within the configuration session.
