Functional Notes

This command allows an IP address to be specified for use as the BGP router ID. If no IP address is configured at BGP startup, it uses the highest IP address configured on a loopback interface. If no loopback interfaces are configured, it uses the highest IP address configured on any interface that is active. If the specified router ID is changed, existing sessions with BGP neighbors are reset.

Usage Examples

The following example configures IP address 10.0.0.1 as the BGP router ID:

(config-bgp)#bgp router-id 10.0.0.1
