7210 SAS-K 2F6C4T and 7210 SAS-K 3SFP+ 8C
This command enables or disables the advertising of inactive BGP routers to other BGP peers.
By default, BGP only advertises BGP routes to other BGP peers if a specific BGP route is chosen by the route table manager as the most preferred route within the system and is active in the forwarding plane. This command allows system administrators to advertise a BGP route even though it is not the most preferred route within the system for a specific destination.

7210 SAS-K 2F6C4T and 7210 SAS-K 3SFP+ 8C
This command sets the router ID in the BGP aggregator path attribute to zero when BGP aggregates routes. This prevents different routers within an AS from creating aggregate routes that contain different AS paths.
When BGP is aggregating routes, it adds the aggregator path attribute to the BGP update messages. By default, BGP adds the AS number and router ID to the aggregator path attribute.
When this command is enabled, BGP adds the router ID to the aggregator path attribute. This command is used at the group level to revert to the value defined under the global level; this command is used at the neighbor level to revert to the value defined under the group level.
The no form of this command used at the global level reverts to default in which BGP adds the AS number and router ID to the aggregator path attribute.
The no form of this command used at the group level reverts to the value defined at the group level.

7210 SAS-K 2F6C4T and 7210 SAS-K 3SFP+ 8C
This command configures how the Multi-Exit Discriminator (MED) path attribute is used in the BGP route selection process. The MED attribute is always used in the route selection process regardless of the peer AS that advertised the route. This command determines what MED value is inserted in the RIB-IN. If this command is not configured, only the MEDs of routes that have the same peer ASs are compared.
The no form of this command removes the parameter from the configuration.
no always-compare-med
Specifies that for routes learned without a MED attribute, a zero (0) value is used in the MED comparison. The routes with the lowest metric are the most preferred.
Specifies for routes learned without a MED attribute that a value of infinity (4294967295) is used in the MED comparison. This, in effect, makes these routes the least desirable.

This command configures BGP to disregard the resolved distance to the BGP next hop in its decision process for selecting the best route to a destination.
When configured in the config>router>bgp>bestpath-selection context, this command applies to the comparison of two BGP routes with the same NLRI learned from base router BGP peers. When configured in the config>service>vprn context, this command applies to the comparison of two BGP-VPN routes for the same IP prefix imported into the VPRN from the base router BGP instance. When configured in the config>service>vprn>bgp>best-path-selection context, this command applies to the comparison of two BGP routes for the same IP prefix learned from VPRN BGP peers.
The no form of this command reverts to the default behavior, whereby BGP factors distance to the next hop into its decision process.

7210 SAS-K 2F6C4T and 7210 SAS-K 3SFP+ 8CC
This command configures the BGP authentication key.
Authentication is performed between neighboring routers before setting up the BGP session by verifying the password. Authentication is performed using the MD-5 message-based digest. The authentication key can be any combination of letters or numbers from 1 to 16.
By default, authentication is disabled and the authentication password is empty
The no form of this command removes the authentication password from the configuration and effectively disables authentication.
Specifies the authentication key. This key can be any combination of ASCII characters up to 255 characters (unencrypted). If spaces are used in the string, enclose the entire string in quotation marks (‟ ”).
Specifies the hash key. This key can be any combination of ASCII characters up to 342 characters (encrypted). If spaces are used in the string, enclose the entire string in quotation marks (‟ ”).
This is useful when a user must configure the parameter, but, for security purposes, the actual unencrypted key value is not provided.
Keyword to specify the key is entered in an encrypted form. If the hash parameter is not used, the key is assumed to be in a non-encrypted, clear text form. For security, all keys are stored in encrypted form in the configuration file with the hash parameter specified.
Keyword to specify the key is entered in a more complex encrypted form. If the hash2 parameter is not used, the less encrypted hash form is assumed.

This command enables BGP route damping for learned routes that are defined within the route policy. Use damping to reduce the number of update messages sent between BGP peers and reduce the load on peers without affecting the route convergence time for stable routes. Damping parameters are set using the route policy definition.
The no form of this command used at the global level disables route damping.
The no form of this command used at the group level reverts to the value defined at the global level.
The no form of this command used at the neighbor level reverts to the value defined at the group level.
When damping is enabled and the route policy does not specify a damping profile, the default damping profile is used. This profile is always present and consists of the following parameters:

This command configures the export policies to be used to control routes advertised to BGP neighbors.
When multiple policy names are specified, the policies are evaluated in the order they are specified. A maximum of five (5) policy names can be configured. The first policy that matches is applied.
IF a non-existent route policy is applied to a VPRN instance, a CLI warning message is generated. This message is only generated at an interactive CLI session and the route policy association is made. No warning message is generated when a non-existent route policy is applied to a VPRN instance in a configuration file or when SNMP is used.
By default, BGP advertises routes from other BGP routes but does not advertise any routes from other protocols unless directed by an export policy.

7210 SAS-K 2F6C4T and 7210 SAS-K 3SFP+ 8CC
This command configures the BGP hold time.
The BGP hold time specifies the maximum time BGP waits between successive messages (either keepalive or update) from its peer, before closing the connection. This command can be set at three levels: global level (applies to all peers), group level (applies to all peers in group), or neighbor level (only applies to specified peer). The most specific value is used.
Even though the router OS implementation allows setting the keepalive time separately, the configured keepalive timer is overridden by the hold-time value under the following circumstances.
If the specified hold-time is less than the configured keepalive time, the operational keepalive time is set to a third of the hold-time; the configured keepalive time is not changed.
If the hold-time is set to zero, the operational value of the keepalive time is set to zero; the configured keepalive time is not changed. This means that the connection with the peer is up permanently and no keepalive packets are sent to the peer.
The no form of this command used at the global level reverts to the default value.
The no form of this command used at the group level reverts to the value defined at the global level.
The no form of this command used at the neighbor level reverts to the value defined at the group level.

7210 SAS-K 2F6C4T and 7210 SAS-K 3SFP+ 8C
This command configures the BGP keepalive timer. A keepalive message is sent every time this timer expires. The seconds parameter can be set at three levels: global level (applies to all peers), group level (applies to all peers in peer-group), or neighbor level (only applies to specified peer). The most specific value is used.
The keepalive value is generally one-third of the hold-time interval. Even though the OS implementation allows the keepalive value and the hold-time interval to be independently set, the configured keepalive value is overridden by the hold-time value under the following circumstances.
If the specified keepalive value is greater than the configured hold-time, the specified value is ignored, and the keepalive is set to one-third of the current hold-time value.
If the specified hold-time interval is less than the configured keepalive value, the keepalive value is reset to one third of the specified hold-time interval.
If the hold-time interval is set to zero, the configured keepalive value is ignored. This means that the connection with the peer is up permanently and no keepalive packets are sent to the peer.
The no form of this command used at the global level reverts to the default value.
The no form of this command used at the group level reverts to the value defined at the global level.
The no form of this command used at the neighbor level reverts to the value defined at the group level.

7210 SAS-K 2F6C4T and 7210 SAS-K 3SFP+ 8C
This command configures the local IP address used by the group or neighbor when communicating with BGP peers.
Outgoing connections use the local-address as the source of the TCP connection when initiating connections with a peer.
When a local address is not specified, the 7210 SAS uses the system IP address when communicating with iBGP peers, and uses the interface address for directly connected eBGP peers. This command is used at the neighbor level to revert to the value defined under the group level.
By default, the router ID is used when communicating with iBGP peers, and the interface address is used for directly connected eBGP peers
The no form of this command removes the configured local-address for BGP.
The no form of this command used at the group level reverts to the value defined at the global level.
The no form of this command used at the neighbor level reverts to the value defined at the group level.

7210 SAS-K 2F6C4T and 7210 SAS-K 3SFP+ 8C
This command configures a BGP virtual autonomous system (AS) number.
In addition to the ASN configured for BGP in the config>router>autonomous-system context, a virtual (local) ASN is configured.The virtual ASN is added to the as-path message before the router ASN makes the virtual AS the second AS in the as-path.
This command can be set at three levels: global level (applies to all peers), group level (applies to all peers in peer-group), or neighbor level (only applies to specified peer). Therefore, by specifying this at each neighbor level, it is possible to have a separate as-number for each eBGP session.
When a command is entered multiple times for the same AS, the last command entered is used in the configuration. The private attribute can be added or removed dynamically by reissuing the command.
Changing the local AS at the global level in an active BGP instance causes the BGP instance to restart with the new local ASN. Changing the local AS at the global level in an active BGP instance causes BGP to reestablish the peer relationships with all peers in the group with the new local ASN. Changing the local AS at the neighbor level in an active BGP instance causes BGP to reestablish the peer relationship with the new local ASN.
This is an optional command and can be used in the following circumstance:
Provider router P is moved from AS1 to AS2. The customer router that is connected to P, however, is configured to belong to AS1. To avoid reconfiguring the customer router, the local-as value on router P can be set to AS1. Therefore, router P adds AS1 to the as-path message for routes it advertises to the customer router.
The no form of this command used at the global level removes any configured virtual ASN.
The no form of this command used at the group level reverts to the value defined at the global level.
The no form of this command used at the neighbor level reverts to the value defined at the group level.

7210 SAS-K 2F6C4T and 7210 SAS-K 3SFP+ 8C
This command enables setting the BGP local-preference attribute in incoming routes if not specified, and configures the default value for the attribute. This value is used if the BGP route arrives from a BGP peer without the local-preference integer set.
The specified value can be overridden by any value set via a route policy. This command can be set at three levels: global level (applies to all peers), group level (applies to all peers in peer-group), or neighbor level (only applies to specified peer). The most specific value is used.
By default, this command does not override the local-preference value set in arriving routes and analyze routes without local preference with value of 100
The no form of this command at the global level specifies that incoming routes with local-preference set are not overridden and routes arriving without local-preference set are interpreted as if the route had a local-preference value of 100.
The no form of this command used at the group level reverts to the value defined at the global level.
The no form of this command used at the neighbor level reverts to the value defined at the group level.

7210 SAS-K 2F6C4T and 7210 SAS-K 3SFP+ 8C
This command enables passive mode for the BGP group or neighbor.
When in passive mode, BGP does not attempt to actively connect to the configured BGP peers but responds only when it receives a connect open request from the peer.
By default, BGP actively tries to connect to all the configured peers.
The no form of this command used at the group level disables passive mode where BGP actively attempts to connect to its peers.
The no form of this command used at the neighbor level reverts to the value defined at the group level.

7210 SAS-K 2F6C4T and 7210 SAS-K 3SFP+ 8C
This command configures the AS number for the remote peer. The peer ASN must be configured for each configured peer.
For eBGP peers, the peer ASN configured must be different from the AS number configured for this router under the global level, because the peer will be in a different autonomous system than this router.
For iBGP peers, the peer ASN must be the same as the AS number of this router configured under the global level.
By default, no AS numbers are defined.
This is a required command for each configured peer. This may be configured under the group level for all neighbors in a particular group.
Specifies the AS number, expressed as a decimal integer.

7210 SAS-K 2F6C4T and 7210 SAS-K 3SFP+ 8C
This command configures the route preference for routes learned from the configured peers.
This command can be set at three levels: global level (applies to all peers), group level (applies to all peers in peer-group), or neighbor level (only applies to specified peer). The most specific value is used.
The lower the preference, the higher the chance of the route being the active route. The OS assigns BGP routes highest default preference compared to routes that are direct, static, or learned via MPLS or OSPF.
The no form of this command used at the global level reverts to default value.
The no form of this command used at the group level reverts to the value defined at the global level.
The no form of this command used at the neighbor level reverts to the value defined at the group level.

Specifies the route preference, expressed as a decimal integer.

7210 SAS-K 2F6C4T and 7210 SAS-K 3SFP+ 8C
This command configures the maximum number of routes BGP can learn from a peer.
When the number of routes reaches a specific percentage (default is 90% of this limit), an SNMP trap is generated. When the limit is exceeded, the BGP peering is dropped and disabled.
A log is generated to report the addition of the route if the prefix-limit value is exceeded. Excess routes are added to the IP FIB.
The no form of this command removes the prefix-limit command.
no prefix-limit
Specifies the number of routes, expressed as a decimal integer, that can be learned from a peer.
Keyword that enables the warning message to be sent at the specified threshold percentage, and also when the limit is exceeded. BGP peering is not dropped.
Specifies the threshold value (as a percentage) that triggers a warning message.
Specifies the address family applied for the prefix limit.
[no] rapid-withdrawal
config>service>vprn>bgp
7210 SAS-K 2F6C4T and 7210 SAS-K 3SFP+ 8C
This command disables the delay (Minimum Route Advertisement) on sending BGP withdrawals. Normal route withdrawals may be delayed up to the minimum route advertisement to allow for efficient packing of BGP updates.
The no form of this command removes this command from the configuration and reverts withdrawal processing to the normal behavior.

7210 SAS-K 2F6C4T and 7210 SAS-K 3SFP+ 8C
This command allows private ASNs to be removed from the AS path before advertising them to BGP peers.
When this command is set at the global level, it applies to all peers regardless of group or neighbor configuration. When this command is set at the group level, it applies to all peers in the group regardless of the neighbor configuration.
The OS software recognizes the set of ASNs that are defined by IANA as private. These are ASNs in the range 64512 through 65535, inclusive.
By default, private ASNs will be included in the AS path attribute.
The no form of this command used at the global level reverts to default value.
The no form of this command used at the group level reverts to the value defined at the global level.
The no form of this command used at the neighbor level reverts to the value defined at the group level.

7210 SAS-K 2F6C4T and 7210 SAS-K 3SFP+ 8C
This command configures the BGP peer type as internal or external.
The internal type indicates the peer is an iBGP peer, the external type indicates that the peer is an eBGP peer.
By default, the OS derives the type of neighbor based on the local AS specified. If the local AS specified is the same as the AS of the router, the peer is considered internal. If the local AS is different, the peer is considered external.
The no form of this command used at the group level reverts to the default value.
The no form of this command used at the neighbor level reverts to the value defined at the group level.
