Enabling BGP	Specify the local AS number when BGP is enabled. After BGP is enabled, the local
	router continuously monitors whether any incoming BGP connection request is
	received from the peer routers. To make the local router send BGP connection
	requests to the peer routers, use the peer command. When BGP is turned off,
	BGP protocol closes all BGP connections that have been created.
	Perform the following configurations in system view.

	By default, no network is configured for BGP distribution.
Configuring Peers	The routers that exchange BGP packets are called peers to each other. Peers can
	be directly connected routers or indirectly connected routers but should be
	connected by other directly connected router or routers.
	BGP peer basic configuration includes setting the AS number of the peer.
	Perform the following peer configuration in BGP view.
