Related Commands
Notes	When configuring an advertisement interval to a BGP session, this interval is implemented per prefix route of that session. For example: If a session is configured with advertisement interval of 100 seconds, when it first learns a new route it automatically sends an update on this route. If it learns another route in the same prefix as the initial route, it waits for 100 seconds. But if it learns another route in a different prefix it immediately advertises that route and does not wait another 100 seconds.

neighbor next-hop-peer

	neighbor <ip-address \| peer-group-name \| ethernet \| port-channel> next-hop-peer [disable] no neighbor <ip-address \| peer-group-name \| ethernet \| port-channel> next-hop-peer Configures the switch to replace the next-hop attribute in routes advertised to IBGP peers with the address of the EBGP peer that advertised this route. The no form of the command disables this function.
Syntax Description	ip-address	IP address of the neighbor
	peer-group-name	Peer group name
	disable	Disables this function and prevents the system from inheriting this parameter’s group configuration
	ethernet	interface ethernet <ifname>
	port-channel	interface port-channel <ifname>
Default	no next-hop-peer
Configuration Mode	config router bgp
History	3.3.5006

	3.9.0300	Added support for unnumbered neighbors, updated command description, and Updated example
Example	switch (config router bgp 100)# neighbor 10.10.10.10 next-hop-peer switch (config router bgp 200)# vrf default neighbor interface ethernet 1/1 next-hop-peer
Related Commands
Notes	This command overrides the next hop for all routes received from this neighbor or peer group

neighbor next-hop-self

	neighbor <ip-address \| peer-group-name \| ethernet \| port-channel> next-hop-self [disable] no neighbor <ip-address \| peer-group-name \| ethernet \| port-channel> next-hop-self Configures the IP address of the router as the next hop address in routes advertises to the specific neighbor. The no form of the command resets this parameter to its default.
Syntax Description	ip-address	IP address of the neighbor
	peer-group-name	Peer group name
	disable	Disables this function and prevents the system from inheriting this parameter’s group configuration
	ethernet	interface ethernet <ifname>
	port-channel	interface port-channel <ifname>
Default	no next-hop-self
Configuration Mode	config router bgp
History	3.3.5006
	3.6.4070	Added support for IPv6

Example	switch (config router bgp 100)# neighbor 10.10.10.10 next-hop-self switch (config router bgp 200)# vrf default neighbor interface ethernet 1/1 next-hop-self
Related Commands	neighbor <ip-address> remote-as <as-number>
Notes	This function is used in networks where BGP neighbors do not directly access all other neighbors on the same subnet. In the default state, the next hop is generated based on the IP address and the present next hop in the route information.

neighbor next-hop-unchanged

	neighbor <ip-address \| peer group \| ethernet \| port-channel> next-hop-unchanged no neighbor <ip-address \| peer group \| ethernet \| port-channel> next-hop-unchanged disable neighbor <ip-address \| peer group \| ethernet \| port-channel> next-hop-unchanged Enables preserving BGP next-hop when forwarding routes to this eBGP peer or all eBGP peers in this address family. The no form of the command removes configuration and enables inheritance of AFI SAFI next-hop-unchanged configuration from a peer group if this neighbor is member in one. The disable form of the command disables preserving BGP next-hop when forwarding routes to this eBGP peer or all eBGP peers in this address family.
Syntax Description	ip-address	Neighbor IP address
	peer_group	Peer group name
	ethernet	interface ethernet <ifname>
	port-channel	interface port-channel <ifname>
Default	The next-hop of a route is preserved when advertising the route to an iBGP peer, but is updated when advertising the route to an eBGP peer. Setting this to “true” overrides this behavior and preserves the next-hop when routes are advertised to this eBGP peer.
Configuration Mode	config router bgp address-family

Example	switch (config router bgp 100)# neighbor 10.10.10.10 password 7 admin123 switch (config router bgp 200)# vrf default neighbor interface ethernet 1/1 password 0 test
Related Commands
Note	Peers must use the same password to ensure communication “neighbor <ip-address> password 7 <password>” can only accept data that was created using “show config” “show config” will never show the clear-test password, it will always be obfuscated (and thus displayed using the 'password 7' syntax). Router BGP neighbor password cannot be set when enabling secure mode Router BGP peer-group password cannot be set when enabling with secure mode

neighbor no-password

	neighbor <ip-address \| peer-group-name \| ethernet \| port-channel> no-password Disables authentication for peer without inheritance.
Syntax Description	ip-address	IP address of the neighbor
	peer-group-name	Peer group name

Example	switch (config router bgp 100)# neighbor groupA peer-group switch (config router bgp 100)# neighbor 1.2.3.4 peer-group groupA
Related Commands
Notes	Once a peer group is created, the group name can be used as a parameter in neighbor configuration commands, and the configuration will be applied to all members of the group Settings applied to an individual neighbor in the peer group override group settings A neighbor can only belong to one peer group, so issuing this command for a neighbor that is already a member of another group removes it from that group When a neighbor is removed from a peer group, the neighbor does not retain the configuration inherited from the peer group. Router BGP peer-group password cannot be set when enabling with secure mode A BGP group must be used by either a single listen range, or by a set of neighbors sharing the same type (iBGP or eBGP) A group must already exist before a node is configured to use it Any configuration change on a group affects each of the peers inheriting this specific parameter from the group only after undergoing admin state toggle

neighbor remote-as

	neighbor <ip-address> remote-as <as-number> no neighbor <ip-address> remote-as <as-number> Configures a neighbor. The no form of the command removes the neighbor, dropping the connection and all routes if already connected.
Syntax Description	ipv4_addr, ipv6_addr	IP address of the neighbor
Syntax Description	as-number	The BGP peer as-number Range: 1-65535
Default	N/A

Example	switch (config router bgp 100)# neighbor 10.10.10.10 remote-as 200
Related Commands	ip routing router bgp <as-number>
Notes	Neighbors from the same AS as the router are considered as iBGP peers, and neighbors from other ASs are considered eBGP peers

neighbor remove-private-as

	neighbor <ip-address \| peer-group-name \| ethernet \| port-channel> remove-private-as [disable] no neighbor <ip-address \| peer-group-name \| ethernet \| port-channel> remove-private-as Removes private autonomous system numbers from outbound routing updates for external BGP (eBGP) neighbors.

Related Commands	ip routing router bgp <as-number>
Notes	This can only be used with external BGP (eBGP) peers If the update has only private AS numbers in the AS path, BGP removes these numbers If the AS path includes both private and public AS numbers, BGP does not remove the private AS numbers. This situation is considered a configuration error If the AS path contains the AS number of the eBGP neighbor, BGP does not remove the private AS number If the AS path contains confederations, BGP removes the private AS numbers only if they come after the confederation portion of the AS path

neighbor route-map

	neighbor <ip-address \| peer-group-name \| ethernet \| port-channel> route-map <route-map-name> [in \| out] no neighbor <ip-address \| peer-group-name \| ethernet \| port-channel> route-map [route-map-name] [in \| out] disable neighbor <ip-address \| peer-group-name \| ethernet \| port-channel> route-map [route-map-name] [in \| out] Configures route-map export or import to the peer either for a specific address family or for all (depending on the configuration context). The no form of the command removes map-route configuration and enables inheritance. The inheritance priority is as follows: a. Peer AFI-SAFI b. Peer c. Peer Group AFI-SAFI d.

If yes, then it is taken. Otherwise, the OS continues looking to the peer group AFI SAFI, and then the peer group (if a peer is member of a peer group). Only one inbound route-map can be applied to a given neighbor If a new route-map is applied to a neighbor, it replaces the previous route map Changing a route-map only takes effect on routes received or sent after the change A route-map must already exist before a node is configured to use it

neighbor no-route-map

Syntax Description	ipv4_addr, ipv6_addr	IP address of the neighbor
	peer-group-name	Peer group name
	value	Weight value Range: 0-65535 Explicitly configuring a default value prevents the system from inheriting this parameter’s group configuration
	ethernet	interface ethernet <ifname>
	port-channel	interface port-channel <ifname>
Default	Value is 32768 for router-originated paths and 0 for routes received through BGP
Configuration Mode	config router bgp
History	3.4.0000
	3.6.4070	Added IPv6 and IPv4 support
	3.8.2000	Updated weight range
	3.9.0300	Added support for unnumbered neighbors and Updated example
Example	switch (config router bgp 100)# neighbor 10.10.10.10 weight 100 switch (config router bgp 200)# vrf default neighbor interface ethernet 1/1 weight 100
Related Commands
Notes	Weight values set through route map commands have precedence over neighbor weight command values Other attributes are used only when all paths to the prefix have the same weight A path’s BGP weight is also configurable through route maps When multiple paths to a destination prefix exist, the best-path selection algorithm prefers the path with the highest weight Weight is the first parameter that the BGP best-path selection algorithm considers

network

	network <ip_prefix length> [<route-map-name>] no network <ip_prefix length> [<route-map-name>] Configures a route for advertisement to BGP peers. The no form of the command removes the route from the BGP routes table, preventing its advertisement. The route is only advertised if the router has a gateway to the destination.
Syntax Description	ip_prefix_length	A string that specific route map is assigned to the network.
	length	/24 or 255.255.255.0 format.
	route-map-name	The name of a route-map which is used to set the route’s attributes when it is advertised.
Default	N/A
Configuration Mode	config router bgp
History	3.3.5006
	3.3.5200	Updated description, syntax description, and notes
	3.6.4070
Example	switch (config router bgp 100)# network 10.10.10.0 /24 routemap
Related Commands
Notes	The parameters “ip-prefix” and “length” specify the route destination The configuration zeros the host portion of the specified network address (e.g. 192.0.2.4/24 is stored as 192.0.2.0/24) Address family is identified by the network address itself and not by the configuration command context

redistribute

	[neighbor <peer_group>] redistribute {connected \| static \| ospf \| ospf-internal \| ospf-external} [<route-map>] no redistribute {connected \| static \| ospf} Enables redistribution of specified routes to the BGP domain. The no form of the command disables route redistribution from the specified source.
Syntax Description	connected	Redistributes the direct routes
	static	Redistributes the user-defined (static) route
	peer_group	Route map name that modifies default route attributes
	ospf	Redistributes all routes learned by OSPF protocol
	ospf-internal	Redistributes all OSPF-learned routes which are marked as internal
	ospf-external	Redistributes all OSPF-learned routes which are marked as external
Default	No redistribution
Configuration Mode	config router bgp

Related Commands
Notes	Multiple redistribution options can be applied This command cannot be used with route-maps

router-id

	router-id <ip-address> [force] no router-id [force] Configures a fixed router ID for BGP. The no form of the command removes the fixed router ID and restores the system default.
Syntax Description	ip-address	IP Address identified the router ID
Syntax Description	force	Applies configuration while BGP is admin-up
Default	The Router ID is dynamically elected (no router-id). If a loopback interface is configured, the router ID is set to the IP address of the loopback interface If multiple loopback interfaces are configured, the router ID is set to the IP address of the loopback interface with the highest IP address If no loopback interface is configured, the router ID is set to the highest IP address on a physical interface
Configuration Mode	config router bgp
History	3.3.5006
History	3.6.3004	Added “force” parameter
Example	switch (config router bgp 100)# router-id 10.10.10.10
Related Commands
Notes	The IP address configured identifies the BGP speaker. The command triggers an automatic notification and session reset for the BGP neighbors.

route-map

	[neighbor <peer_group>] route-map <route_map_name> [in \| out] no [neighbor <peer_group>] route-map <route_map_name> [in \| out] Specifies a route map that will be applied in the given direction for specific address family. The no form of the command removes this configuration.
Syntax Description	route_map_name	Name of a route map to apply
	in/out	Specifies in which direction the route map is applied. If nothing is given, route map is applied in both directions.
	peer_group	Peer group name
Default	N/A
