BGP configuration task list
In a basic BGP network, you only need to perform the following configurations:
• Enable BGP.
• Configure BGP peers or peer groups.
• Control BGP route generation.
To control BGP route distribution and path selection, you must perform other configurations.
If you configure a BGP setting for a peer group and a peer in the group, the last configuration takes
effect.
Complete the following tasks to configure BGP:
