Establishing the EBGP Peer Relationship Between ASBRs

Procedure

• Perform the following steps on ASBRs:
  1. Access the system view.

     system-view

  2. Access the view of the interface that connects the remote ASBR.

     interface interface-type interface-number

  3. Set the IP address.

     ip address ip-address { mask | mask-length }

  4. Return to the system view.

     quit

  5. Access the BGP view.

     bgp { as-number-plain | as-number-dot }

  6. Configure the remote ASBR as the EBGP peer.

     peer ipv4-address as-number { as-number-plain | as-number-dot }

  7. (Optional) Set the maximum number of hops for the EBGP connection.

     peer { ipv4-address | group-name } ebgp-max-hop [ hop-count ]

     Generally, one or multiple directly connected physical links exist between EBGP peers. If the directly connected physical link(s) are not available, run the peer ebgp-max-hop command to ensure that the TCP connection can be set up between the EBGP peers through multiple hops.
