Configuration Tasks

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

To configure BGP neighbors:

• Create BGP neighbors.
• Set route policies.
• Set BGP parameters.
• Set timer settings.
  

  NOTE: The order of performing these tasks is arbitrary.

  
  

You can also perform the following optional tasks:

• Create access lists.
• Create BGP templates.
