For the router ID, the system selects the first configured IP address or a random number. To view the status of BGP
neighbors, use the show ip bgp neighbors command. For BGP neighbor configuration information, use the show
running-config bgp command.
The example shows two neighbors — one is an external BGP neighbor; and the other is an internal BGP neighbor. The first line
of the output for each neighbor displays the AS number and states if the link is external or internal.
The third line of the show ip bgp neighbors output contains the BGP state. If anything other than established displays,
the neighbor is not exchanging information and routes. For more information, see IPv6 commands.

Configuring BGP in a non-default VRF instance
To configure BGP in a non-default VRF instance.
1. Assign an AS number, and enter ROUTER-BGP mode from CONFIGURATION mode (1 to 65535 for 2-byte, 1 to 4294967295
for 4-byte). Only one AS number is supported per system. If you enter a 4-byte AS number, 4-byte AS support is enabled
automatically.
