Configure==>BGP Peers

To pass BGP routing information, you must define the peers for your PortMaster router. Peers are pairs of routers that send BGP messages to each other. You define the peer relationship by setting the IP address of the PortMaster (source router) to be placed in outgoing packets, the destination address of the peer, and the autonomous system number (ASN) of the peer.

You must define the relationship on the PortMaster for each of its peers. The relationship must also be configured on each peer router.

To view, create, or edit a BGP peer on an active PortMaster, click BGP Peers.

To add a peer, follow these steps:

  1. Click Add.

  2. Enter the IP address of the peer and the IP address of the PortMaster.
  3. Enter the autonomous system number (ASN) of the peer, a 16-bit number between 1 and 65535.
  4. Click OK to save.
