menu options to open the windows are grayed out). Available menu options can
be launched from a site object containing the required objects, when required.
BGP Management
BGP is an interautonomous system routing protocol that is used to exchange
routing information for the internet. The customers connect to the Internet Service
Providers (ISPs), and the ISPs use BGP to exchange customer and ISP routing
information. When BGP is used between autonomous systems (AS), the protocol
is referred to as External BGP (EBGP). If a service provider is using BGP to
exchange routes within an AS, then the protocol is referred to as Interior BGP
(IBGP).
BGP uses the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) as its transport protocol. Any
two routers that have opened a TCP connection to each other for the purpose of
exchanging routing information are known as peers or neighbor.
BGP Configuration
The BGP Configuration window allows the user to enable, modify and disable a
BGP process in the device. The BGP Configuration window also allows the user
to configure a BGP Network, BGP Neighbor and BGP Redistribute protocol.
