To support your own IP addresses, interfaces, names, and so on, you can copy and paste from these examples to your CLI. Be
sure that you make the necessary changes.
Example-Configuring BGP routing between peers
Example of enabling BGP in Router A
Following is an example to enable BGP configuration in the router A.
RouterA# configure terminal
RouterA(conf)# router bgp 40000
RouterA(conf-router_bgp)# bgp router-id 10.1.1.99
RouterA(conf-router_bgp)# timers bgp 80 130
RouterA(conf-router_bgp)# neighbor 192.168.1.1 remote-as 45000
RouterA(conf-router_bgp)# exit
RouterA(conf)#
The neighbors configured under CONFIGURATION-ROUTER-BGP mode and are defined using the neighbor remote-as
command exchange only IPv4 unicast address prefixes.
Example of enabling BGP in Router B
Following is an example to enable BGP configuration in the router B.
RouterB# configure terminal
RouterB(conf)# router bgp 45000
RouterB(conf-router_bgp)# bgp router-id 172.17.1.99
RouterB(conf-router_bgp)# timers bgp 70 120
RouterB(conf-router_bgp)# neighbor 192.168.1.2 remote-as 40000
RouterB(conf-router_bgp)# exit
RouterB(conf)#
The show ip bgp summary displays BGP configuration. Following is the sample output for show ip bgp summary
command for router A.
RouterA#show ip bgp summary

Following is the sample output for show ip bgp summary command for Router B.
RouterB#show ip bgp summary
