Enabling BGP
A router ID is the unique identifier of a BGP router in an AS.
•
To ensure the uniqueness of a router ID and enhance availability, specify in BGP view the IP address
of a local loopback interface as the router ID.
•
If no router ID is specified in BGP view, the global router ID is used.
•
To modify a non-zero router ID of BGP, use the
router-id
command in BGP view, rather than the
router id
command in system view.
•
If you specify a router ID in BGP view and then remove the interface that owns the router ID, the
router does not select a new router ID. To select a new router ID, use the
undo router-id
command
in BGP view.
