DETAILED STEPS
Purpose
Command or Action
configure
Step 1
Enters BGP configuration mode, allowing you to configure
the BGP routing process.
router bgp autonomous-system-number
Example:
Step 2
Use the
show bgp
command in XR EXEC mode to obtain
the
autonomous-system-number
for the current router.
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router bgp 120
Sets the BFD minimum interval. Range is 15-30000
milliseconds.
bfd minimum-interval milliseconds
Example:
Step 3
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# bfd
minimum-interval 6500
Sets the BFD multiplier.
bfd multiplier multiplier
Example:
Step 4
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# bfd multiplier
7
Places the router in neighbor configuration mode for BGP
routing and configures the neighbor IP address as a BGP
peer.
neighbor ip-address
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# neighbor
172.168.40.24
Step 5
This example configures the IP address 172.168.40.24 as
a BGP peer.
Creates a neighbor and assigns it a remote autonomous
system.
remote-as autonomous-system-number
Example:
Step 6
This example configures the remote autonomous system to
be 2002.
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# remote-as
2002
Enables BFD between the local networking devices and the
neighbor whose IP address you configured to be a BGP
peer in Step 5.
bfd fast-detect
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# bfd
fast-detect
Step 7
In the example in Step 5, the IP address 172.168.40.24 was
set up as the BGP peer. In this example, BFD is enabled
between the local networking devices and the neighbor
172.168.40.24.
