Basic Configuration

Two tasks are common to every BGP configuration: You must enable the BGP routing process, and you must configure BGP neighbors. All other basic configuration tasks are optional.

You can configure certain BGP attributes globally, for peer groups, or for individual peers. The most specific level of configuration takes precedence. For example, if you configure an attribute both globally and for a peer group, the peer group configuration takes precedence for that peer group, but does not affect other peer groups. If you configure an attribute both for a peer group and for a peer, the peer configuration takes precedence for that peer, but does not affect other members of that peer group.
