Configure==>BGP
You can configure your PortMaster 3, PortMaster 4, or IRX to use the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) as a routing protocol. To view, create, or edit BGP settings, click BGP. The following describes the BGP fields in PMVision that you need to set. For more information, see the PortMaster Routing Guide.

BGP Setting |
Description |
|
ID |
The BGP identifier. An IP address on the PortMaster that identifies the PortMaster as a BGP router to other routers. The IP address is usually one of the interfaces on the PortMaster. |
|
ASN |
The autonomous system identifiers. A unique 16-bit number (supplied by InterNIC) used to identify the autonomous system to which the router belongs. The valid range is from 1 to 65535. |
|
Connect Retry Interval |
The interval, in seconds, at which the PortMaster attempts to open sessions to peers that are not fully established. The valid range is from 80 to 1000 seconds. The default is 120 seconds. |
|
Hold Time |
The interval, in seconds, that the PortMaster waits between keepalive, update, or notification messages from a peer, before identifying the peer as no longer operational and dropping all information learned from that peer. The valid range is from 30 to 1000 seconds. The default is 90 seconds. |
|
Keep Alive Timer |
The interval, in seconds, at which the PortMaster sends keepalive messages to its peers to let them know that it is still reachable. The valid range is from 30 to 1000 seconds. 30 is the default. |
|
IGP Lockstep |
If checked, forces the PortMaster to wait until it finds a suitable Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) route that supports the route before advertising it. |
