Usage
Information
To accept 4-byte formats before entering a 4 byte AS Number, configure your system. If the number
parameter is the same as the AS number used in the router bgp command, the remote AS entry in the
neighbor is considered an internal BGP peer entry.
This command creates a peer and the newly created peer is disabled (Shutdown).
This command automatically restarts the neighbor session for the configuration to take effect.
