Creating a BGP connection
A router ID is the unique identifier of a BGP router in an AS.
• To ensure the uniqueness of a router ID and enhance network reliability, you can 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.
• If the global router ID is used and then it is removed, the system will select a new router ID.
• If the router ID is specified in BGP view, using the undo router-id command can make the system
select a new router ID.
Follow these steps to create a BGP connection:

ID. If no loopback interface IP
address is available, the highest
physical interface IP address is used,
regardless of the interface status.
