5.3 Basic BGP Configuration
This section describes basic BGP configuration.
Note:
As BGP is based on TCP connections, you need to assign IP addresses for BGP
peers. BGP peers are not necessarily the neighbor routers. A BGP peer can also be
obtained through logical links. Loopback interfaces are usually used to establish BGP
connections for stability.
5.3.1 Configuration Prerequisites
Before performing basic BGP configuration, you need to ensure network layer
connectivity between adjacent nodes.
