Advanced Configuration and Management Guide
10.Select Enable next to Client To Client Reflection if this neighbor is a
11.Select Enable next to Shutdown if you want to administratively shut down the session with this neighbor. Shutting down the session allows you to completely configure the neighbor and save the configuration without actually establishing a session with the neighbor. This option is disabled by default.
12.Enter the advertisement interval in the Advert Interval field. This parameter specifies the minimum delay (in seconds) between messages to the specified neighbor. The default is 30 for EBGP neighbors (neighbors in other ASs). The default is 5 for IBGP neighbors (neighbors in the same AS). The range is 0 – 600.
13.Edit the value in the Maximum Prefix field to change the maximum prefix. The maximum prefix is the maximum number of IP network prefixes (routes) that can be learned from the specified neighbor. The default is 0 (unlimited). The range is 0 – 4294967295.
14.Enter the remote AS number in the Remote AS field. The remote AS number is the number of the AS the neighbor is in.
15.Enter the weight you want the routing switch to add to routes received from the specified neighbor. BGP4 prefers larger weights over smaller weights. The default weight is 0.
16.Enter the number of an update source loopback interface in the Update Source field. This parameter configures the routing switch to communicate with the neighbor through the loopback address on the specified interface. Using a loopback address for neighbor communication avoids problems that can be caused by unstable routing switch interfaces. Generally, loopback interfaces are used for links to IBGP neighbors, which often are multiple hops away, rather than EBGP neighbors. The loopback interface number can be from 1 – 8. There is no default.
17.Enter a Keep Alive time in the Keep Alive Time field. This parameter overrides the global BGP4 Keep Alive Time configured on the routing switch. You can specify from 0 – 65535 seconds. The default is the current global setting.
18.Enter a Hold Time in the Hold Time field. This parameter overrides the global BGP4 Hold Time configured on the routing switch. You can specify 0 or 3 – 65535 (1 and 2 are not allowed). If you set the Hold Time to 0, the routing switch waits indefinitely for messages from a neighbor without concluding that the neighbor is dead. The default is the current global setting.
NOTE: Set the Hold Time to three times the value of the Keep Alive Time. For information about these parameters, see “Changing the Keep Alive Time and Hold Time” on page
19.If you specified a weight in the Weight field, enter a list of AS Path filters in the AS Path Filter List for Weight field. The routing switch applies the filters in the order in which you list them and stops applying the filters in the

20.Enter a password in the MD5 Password field to secure the routing switch’s sessions with this neighbor.
NOTE: You must configure the neighbor to use the same password.
21.Click the Add button (if you are adding a new neighbor) or the Modify button (if you are modifying a neighbor that is already configured) to apply the changes to the device’s
