bgp bestpath compare-routerid^#1	Enables selection among routes learned from external peers based on the peer's BGP identifier (router ID).
bgp default local-preference	Sets the default of the LOCAL_PREF attribute of routes advertised by BGP4.
bgp nexthop	Specifies the route map (route-map) to be used in resolving the next hop of a BGP4 route.
bgp router-id^#1	Specifies the identifier of the local router.
default-information originate	Advertises a default route to all peers.
default-metric	Sets the default of the MED attribute of routes advertised by BGP4.
disable^#1	Disables BGP4/BGP4+.
distance bgp	Sets the distance of a route learned via BGP4.
neighbor description	Sets a supplementary description of a peer.
neighbor ebgp-multihop	Allows connections to external peers that are not directly connected on the interface and to member AS peers.
neighbor next-hop-self	Allows the NEXT_HOP attribute when advertising a route learned by a BGP4 peer to BGP4 peers to be changed to the address used for peering on the local side.
neighbor remote-as^#1	Configures a BGP4/BGP4+ peer.
neighbor remove-private-as	Specifies the removal of private AS numbers when advertising to BGP4 peers.
neighbor shutdown	Disables a peer connection.
neighbor soft-reconfiguration	Stores routes that have been suppressed by the input policy.
neighbor timers	Sets the KEEPALIVE message sending interval and hold timer value used in a peer connection.
neighbor update-source	Sets the device address as the local address to be used for peering.
neighbor weight	Sets the weighting of routes learned from a peer.
router bgp^#1	Configures information about the behavior of the BGP4/BGP4+ routing protocol.
timers bgp^#1	Sets the KEEPALIVE message sending interval and hold timer value to be applied to all peers.
distribute-list in (BGP4)^#2	Specifies the route filter to be used as BGP4 learned route filter conditions.
distribute-list out (BGP4)^#2	Specifies the route filter to be used as BGP4 advertised route filter conditions.
neighbor in (BGP4)^#2	Specifies the route filter to be used as the learned route filter conditions for a specific BGP4 peer.
neighbor out (BGP4)^#2	Specifies the route filter to be used as the advertised route filter conditions for a specific BGP4 peer.
redistribute (BGP4)^#2	Specifies the protocol of learned routes advertised by BGP4.

Note #1: Common command for BGP4 and BGP4+ (IPv6) peers.
Note #2: See "Configuration Command Reference Vol.2" "15 Route Filtering (Common to IPv4/IPv6)".

Table 13-5: List of operation commands used for configuration
Command name	Description
clear ip bgp	When * in is specified in the parameter: Applies the latest route filtering settings to BGP4 learned route filtering. Requests re-advertisement of BGP4 routes to all BGP4 peers. When * out is specified in the parameter Applies the latest route filtering settings to BGP4 advertised route filtering. - Applies the neighbor remove-private-as setting to the operation. Re-advertises BGP4 routes to all BGP4 peers. When * both is specified in the parameter Applies the latest route filtering settings to BGP4 learned route filtering and advertised route filtering. - Applies the neighbor remove-private-as setting to the operation. Requests re-advertisement of BGP4 routes to all BGP4 peers and redistributes BGP4 routes to all BGP4 peers. When * is specified in the parameter Disconnects all BGP4 peers.
