update-source
<interface>
Use the
update-source
command to specify which virtual interface’s IP address will be used as the source
IP address for the BGP TCP connection (when connecting to this peer). Use the
no
form of this command
to return to default settings.
Syntax Description
<interface>
Specifies the interface ID (e.g.,
loopback 1
) of the virtual interface to be used as
the source IP address.
Default Values
By default, the outbound interface's IP address is used for BGP updates.
Functional Notes
This is most often configured as a loopback interface that is reachable by the peer router. The peer will
specify this address in its neighbor commands for this router.
Usage Examples
The following example configures the
loopback 1
interface as the source IP:
ProCurve(config)#
router bgp 65000
ProCurve(config-bgp)#
neighbor 172.24.3.192
ProCurve(config-bgp-neighbor)#
update-source loopback 1
