neighbor update-source
Use this command to allow internal BGP sessions to use any operational interface for TCP
connections.
Use the
no
parameter with this command to restore the interface assignment to the closest
interface.
Syntax

Mode

Usage
Use this command in conjunction with any specified interface on the router. The loopback
interface is the interface that is most commonly used with this command. The use of loopback
interface eliminates a dependency and BGP does not have to rely on the availability of a
particular interface for making TCP connections.
