Specify a router ID. router-id router-id Remarks N/A By default, no global router ID is configured, and BGP uses the highest loopback interface IP address-if any-as the router ID. If no loopback interface IP address is available, BGP uses the highest physical interface IP address as the route ID regardless of the interface status. By default, BGP is not enabled. A router can reside in only one AS, so the router can run only one BGP process. To enter BGP-VPN instance view, the specified VPN instance must already exist and have the route distinguisher (RD) configured. For more information about VPN, see MCE Configuration Guide. By default, the global router ID is used. 172

Configuring basic BGP
This section describes the basic settings required for a BGP network to run.
Enabling BGP
A router ID is the unique identifier of a BGP router in an AS.
To ensure the uniqueness of a router ID and enhance availability, specify in BGP view the IP address
of a local loopback interface as the router ID.
If no router ID is specified in BGP view, the global router ID is used.
To modify a router ID, use the
router-id
command in BGP view, rather than the
router id
command
in system view.
If you specify a router ID in BGP view and then remove the interface that owns the router ID, the
router does not select a new router ID. To select a new router ID, use the
undo router-id
command
in BGP view.
To enable BGP:
Step
Command
Remarks
1.
Enter system view.
system-view
N/A
2.
Configure a global router ID.
router id
router-id
By default, no global router ID is
configured, and BGP uses the
highest loopback interface IP
address—if any—as the router ID. If
no loopback interface IP address is
available, BGP uses the highest
physical interface IP address as the
route ID regardless of the interface
status.
3.
Enable BGP and enter BGP
view or BGP-VPN instance
view.
Enable BGP and enter BGP
view:
bgp
as-number
Enable BGP and enter
BGP-VPN instance view:
a.
bgp
as-number
b.
ip vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name
By default, BGP is not enabled.
A router can reside in only one AS,
so the router can run only one BGP
process.
To enter BGP-VPN instance view, the
specified VPN instance must already
exist and have the route distinguisher
(RD) configured. For more
information about VPN, see
MCE
Configuration Guide
.
4.
Specify a router ID.
router-id
router-id
By default, the global router ID is
used.
