IP address
The IP address of the Neighbor.
Autonomous
System
The Neighbor's ASN.
Multihop/TTL
This field determines the Time-to-live (TTL) of BGP packets.
Leave this field blank if the BGP neighbor is directly connected, otherwise you must specify a
TTL value. This option should be used if the configured Neighbor’s IP address does not match
the selected Interface’s network subnets. The TTL value must be between 2 to 255.
Password
(Optional) Assign a password for MD5 authentication of BGP sessions.
AS-Path
Prepending:
AS path to be prepended to the routes received from this Neighbor.
Values must be ASN and separated by commas.
For example: inputting "64530,64531" will prepend "64530, 64531" to received routes.
Hold Time
Wait time in seconds for a keepalive message from a Neighbor before considering the BGP
connection as stalled.
The value must be either 0 (infinite hold time) or between 3 and 65535 inclusively.
Default: 240
Next Hop Self
Enable this option to advertise your own source address as the next hop when propagating
routes.
iBGP Local
Preference
This is the metric advertised to iBGP Neighbors to indicate the preference for external routes.
The value must be between 0 to 4294967295 inclusively.
Default: 100
BFD
Enable this option to add Bidirectional Forwarding Detection for path failure. All directly
connected Neighbors that use the same physical interface share the same BFD settings. All
mulithop Neighbors share the same multihop BFD settings. You can configure BFD settings in
the BGP profile listing page after this option is enabled.
