BGP Configuration

To enable the BGP process and begin exchanging information, assign an AS number and use commands in ROUTER BGP mode to configure a BGP neighbor.

By default, BGP is disabled.

By default, the system compares the MED attribute on different paths from within the same AS (the bgp always-compare-med command is not enabled).

NOTE: In the Dell Networking OS, all newly configured neighbors and peer groups are disabled. To enable a neighbor or peer group, enter the neighbor { ip-address | peer-group-name} no shutdown command.

The following table displays the default values for BGP.
