R3303-HP HSR6800 Routers Layer 3 - IP Routing Command Reference
265
Usage guidelines
The device supports 4-byte AS numbers by default. If the peer device supports only 2-byte AS numbers,
you must enable the 4-byte AS number suppression function on the local device.
If the peer device supports 4-byte AS numbers, do not enable the suppression function. Otherwise, the
BGP peer relationship cannot be established.
Examples
# In BGP view, enable 4-byte AS number suppression for peer 160.89.2.33.

# In BGP-VPN instance view, enable 4-byte AS number suppression for peer 160.89.2.33. (The VPN must
have been created.)

peer connect-interface (BGP/BGP-VPN instance view)
Use peer connect-interface to specify the source interface for establishing TCP connections to a
peer/peer group.
Use undo peer connect-interface to restore the default.
Syntax
peer { group-name | ip-address } connect-interface interface-type interface-number
undo peer { group-name | ip-address } connect-interface
Default
BGP uses the outbound interface of the best route to the BGP peer/peer group as the source interface for
establishing a TCP connection to the peer/peer group.
Views
BGP view, BGP-VPN instance view
Default command level
2: System level
Parameters
group-name: Specifies the name of a peer group, a string 1 to 47 characters.
ip-address: IP address of a peer.
interface-type interface-number: Specifies an interface by its type and number.
Usage guidelines
Suppose interface A on the local device is connected to interface B on the peer device. When using the
peer x.x.x.x as-number as-number command on the local device but x.x.x.x is not the IP address of
