BGP Neighbor Configuration Window—Detailed Description

The BGP Neighbor Configuration window displays the following:

Local AS—The Autonomous System number in the router.

Neighbor IP Address—This is used to configure the IP address of the neighbor router.

Neighbor Remote AS—This is used to configure the neighbor routers AS number with the values ranging from 1 to 65535.

Update-Source—This is used to set the BGP sessions to use a specific operational interface for TCP connections.

Note The Update Source command in the device can specify any interface (physical, virtual, loopback) to be used as source IP address of the BGP session with the neighbor; but in the EM only the loopback interface can be specified.
