router bgp


Enables/disables BGP routing. Assigns the local autonomous system (AS) number.

Syntax: [no] router bgp as-number

as-number

The number of the autonomous system the router belongs to.

Description: An autonomous system is a group of routers and their associated networks operating under a single technical administration and sharing a set of policies. To outside systems, the autonomous system appears as a single entity. Each autonomous system is assigned an identifying number by an Internet Registry or a network provider. The router bgp command is used to enable BGP routing and to set up a distributed routing core.

The as-number parameter specifies the autonomous system the router belongs to. The as-number identifies the router to other BGP routers and tags the routing information passing through this router.

Use the router bgp command to enable BGP routing and to identify the autonomous system the router belongs to.

Use the no router bgp command to disable BGP routing.

Factory Default: No BGP routing enabled.

Command Mode: Configuration.

Example: In the following example,

router(config)#router bgp 101

router(config-router)#end

router#show ip bgp summary
