Basic configuration tasks required for BGP4
route-map in | out <map-name> specifies a route map the Layer 3 switch will apply to updates sent
to or received from the specified neighbor. The in | out keyword specifies whether the list is applied
on updates received from the neighbor or sent to the neighbor.
NOTE
The route map must already be configured. Refer to “Defining route maps” on page 1403.
route-reflector-client specifies that this neighbor is a route-reflector client of the router. Use the
parameter only if this router is going to be a route reflector. For information, refer to “Route
reflection parameter configuration” on page 1378. This option is disabled by default.
send-community enables sending the community attribute in updates to the specified neighbor. By
default, the router does not send the community attribute.
shutdown administratively shuts down the session with this neighbor. Shutting down the session
allows you to completely configure the neighbor and save the configuration without actually
establishing a session with the neighbor. This option is disabled by default.
soft-reconfiguration inbound enables the soft reconfiguration feature, which stores all the route
updates received from the neighbor. If you request a soft reset of inbound routes, the software
performs the reset by comparing the policies against the stored route updates, instead of
requesting the neighbor BGP4 route table or resetting the session with the neighbor. Refer to
“Using soft reconfiguration” on page 1452.
timers keep-alive <num> hold-time <num> overrides the global settings for the Keep Alive Time
and Hold Time. For the Keep Alive Time, you can specify from 0 through 65535 seconds. For the
Hold Time, you can specify 0 or
3 through 65535 (1 and 2 are not allowed). If you set the Hold Time to 0, the router waits
indefinitely for messages from a neighbor without concluding that the neighbor is dead. The
defaults for these parameters are the currently configured global Keep Alive Time and Hold Time.
For more information about these parameters, refer to “Changing the Keep Alive Time and Hold
Time” on page 1365.
unsuppress-map <map-name> removes route dampening from a neighbor routes when those
routes have been dampened due to aggregation. Refer to “Removing route dampening from a
neighbor routes suppressed due to aggregation” on page 1418.
update-source <ip-addr> | ethernet <port> | loopback <num> | ve <num> configures the router to
communicate with the neighbor through the specified interface. There is no default.
weight <num> specifies a weight the Layer 3 switch will add to routes received from the specified
neighbor. BGP4 prefers larger weights over smaller weights. The default weight is 0.
