interface directly connected to the router. First, the BGP process determines if all internal BGP peers are reachable, then it determines which peers outside the AS are reachable. NOTE: Sample Configurations for enabling BGP routers are found at the end of this chapter. 1 Assign an AS number and enter ROUTER BGP mode. CONFIGURATION mode router bgp as-number • as-number: from 0 to 65535 (2 Byte) or from 1 to 4294967295 (4 Byte) or 0.1 to 65535.65535 (Dotted format). Only one AS is supported per system. NOTE: If you enter a 4-Byte AS number, 4-Byte AS support is enabled automatically. a Enable 4-Byte support for the BGP process. NOTE: This command is OPTIONAL. Enable if you want to use 4-Byte AS numbers or if you support AS4 number representation. 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 fouroctet-as-support command. You cannot disable 4-Byte support if you currently have a 4-Byte ASN configured. 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} 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 Configure Peer Groups before assigning it a remote AS.
