Global Confi guration
Global settings for bgp.
Neighbors and Groups
bgp establishes sessions with neighbors. The neighbor definition and properties are set in this sec-
tion, as well as grouping neighbors for the ease of configuration.
Filter
Filter rules for incoming and outgoing UPDATES. .
Note:
With the exception of macros, the sections should be grouped and appear in bgp.conf in the
order shown above.
Macros
Macros can be defined that will later be expanded in context. Macro names must start with a let-
ter, and may contain letters, digits and underscores. Macro names may not be reserved words (for
example, AS, neighbor, or group). Macros are not expanded inside quotes.
For example:
peer1=”1.2.3.4”
neighbor $peer1 {
remote-as 65001
}
Global Confi guration
There are quite a few settings that affect the operation of the BGP daemon globally.
AS as-number
Set the local autonomous system number to as-number. The AS numbers are assigned by local
RIRs, such as:
AfriNIC
for Africa
APNIC for Asia Pacific
ARIN for North America and parts of the Caribbean
LACNIC for Latin America and the Caribbean
RIPE NCC for Europe, the Middle East, and parts of Asia
For example:
AS 65001
sets the local AS to 65001.
fib-update (yes|no)
If set to no, do not update the Forwarding Information Base, a.k.a. the kernel routing table. The
default is yes.
