Service Manual

CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode
bgp four-octet-as-support
NOTE: Use it only if you support 4-Byte AS numbers or if you support AS4 number representation. If you are
supporting 4-Byte ASNs, enable this command.
Disable 4-Byte support and return to the default 2-Byte format by using the no bgp four-octet-as-support
command. You cannot disable 4-Byte support if you currently have a 4-Byte ASN congured.
Disabling 4-Byte AS numbers also disables ASDOT and ASDOT+ number representation. All AS numbers are displayed in
ASPLAIN format.
b. Enable IPv4 multicast or IPv6 mode.
CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode
address-family [ipv4 | ipv6} vrf
Use this command to enter BGP for IPv6 mode (CONF-ROUTER_BGPv6_AF).
2. Add a neighbor as a remote AS.
CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode
neighbor {ip-address | peer-group name} remote-as as-number
• peer-group name: 16 characters
• as-number: from 0 to 65535 (2 Byte) or from 1 to 4294967295 (4 Byte) or 0.1 to 65535.65535 (Dotted format)
Formats: IP Address A.B.C.D
You must Congure Peer Groups before assigning it a remote AS.
3. Enable the BGP neighbor.
CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode
neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} no shutdown
Examples of the show ip bgp Commands
NOTE: When you change the conguration of a BGP neighbor, always reset it by entering the clear ip bgp *
command in EXEC Privilege mode.
To view the BGP conguration, enter show config in CONFIGURATION ROUTER BGP mode. To view the BGP status, use the
show ip bgp summary command in EXEC Privilege mode. The rst example shows the summary with a 2-byte AS number
displayed (in bold); the second example shows that the summary with a 4-byte AS number using the
show ip bgp summary
command (displays a 4–byte AS number in bold).
The following example shows the show ip bgp summary command output (2–byte AS number displays).
