BGP and BGP4+ Commands
neighbor update-source (BGP and BGP4+)
Use this command to specify the source IPv4 or IPv6 address of BGP or BGP4+ packets, which are sent to the neighbor for routing updates, as the IPv4 or IPv6 address configured on the specified interface. The specified interface is usually the local loopback (lo) interface to allow internal BGP or BGP4+ connections to stay up regardless of which interface is used to reach a neighbor.
Use the no variant of this command to remove the IPv4 or IPv6 address from the interface as the source IPv4 or IPv6 address of BGP or BGP4+ packets sent to the neighbor, and restores the interface assignment to the closest interface, which is also called the best local address.
Syntax [BGP/BGP4+] neighbor <neighborid>
no neighbor <neighborid>
Parameter Description
<neighborid> {<ip-address><ipv6-addr><peer-group>}
<interface> Specifies the local loopback interface (lo).
Default [BGP/BGP4+] Use of this command sets a default value of 2 for the maximum hop count.
Mode [BGP] Router Configuration or IPv4 Address Family Configuration for a VRF instance
Mode [BGP4+] Router Configuration
Usage [BGP/BGP4+] Use this command in conjunction with any specified interface on the router. The local loopback interface is the interface that is most commonly used with this command. The use of local loopback interface eliminates a dependency and BGP or BGP4+ does not have to rely on the availability of a particular interface for making BGP or BGP4+ peer relationships.
