Quick Steps for Using BGP
1 The BGP software is not loaded automatically when the router is booted. You must manually load the
software into memory by typing the following command:
-> ip load bgp
2 Assign an Autonomous System (AS) number to the local BGP speaker. By default the AS number is 1,
but you may want to change this number to fit your network requirements. For example:
-> ip bgp autonomous-system 100
3 Enable the BGP protocol by entering the following command:
-> ip bgp status enable
4 Create a BGP peer entry. The local BGP speaker should be able to reach this peer. The IP address you
assign the peer should be valid. For example:
-> ip bgp neighbor 198.45.16.145
5 Assign an AS number to the peer you just created. All peers require an AS number. The AS number
does not have to be the same as the AS number for the local BGP speaker. For example:
-> ip bgp neighbor 198.45.16.145 remote-as 200
6 By default a BGP peer is not active on the network until you enable it. Use the following commands to
enable the peer created in Step 4:
-> ip bgp neighbor 198.45.16.145 status enable
