protocols bgp <asn>

Creates a BGP instance on the router and locates it within an AS.

set protocols bgp asn
delete protocols bgp asn
show protocols bgp [ asn ]
asn
The number for the AS in which this router resides. Any peers of this router must be configured to know this AS number—if there is a mismatch, a peering is not established.

The number range from 1 through 4294967294. The subrange, 64512 through 65534, is reserved for private AS.

Configuration mode

protocols {
    bgp asn {
    }
}

Use the set form of this command to enable a BGP instance on the router, and set its AS. All subsequent BGP configuration falls under this configuration node.

Note that you cannot create another BGP instance for a given AS as only one BGP instance per AS is currently supported in Vyatta NOS.

Use the delete form of this command to disable BGP on the router, removing all BGP configuration.

Use the show form of this command to view all BGP configuration.
