#router bgp 100 - only one BGP process per router
#network x.x.x.x mask x.x.x.x - using this command will not automatically form a neighbor relationship
#neighbor x.x.x.x remote-as x.x.x.x - peer router
#timers bgp x x - change the keepalive and holdtime timers respectively
#neighbor x.x.x.x update-source Loopback 0 - Instruct the router to use an operational interface for TCP connections with the neighbor. Preferably a loopback interface
#neighbor x.x.x.x ebgp multihop x - only for ebgp routers that are not directly connected to establish a session. x is the number of hops to the neighbor.
#neighbor x.x.x.x soft-reconfiguration inbound - router stores all updates from the neighbour incase the inbound policy is changed. Memory intensive
#synchronization - router can now announce routes learnt via iBGP even if these routes are unknown via IGP
#neighbor x.x.x.x default-originate - default route will only be sent to the specified neighbor
network 0.0.0.0 - advertises a default route to all peers
maximum-paths 3 - load balancing over 3 equal paths
maximum-paths ibgp 3
maximum-paths ebgp 3
neighbor x.x.x.x password xxxx - router and peer will use md5 authentication for TCP connection between them. Must be same on both.
neighbor x.x.x.x next-hop-self - this router will be used as the next hop to advertise all updates to the indicated neighbour.
neighbor x.x.x.x next-hop-unchanged - nexthop is unchanged
neighbor x.x.x.x remove-private-as - only for ebgp neighbours. it removes private AS numbers before propagating to the Internet.
neighbor x.x.x.x weight xxx - set the weight of all updates from the neighbour to xxx. Not propagaetd to other routers.
bgp default local-preference 150 - set the default local preference.
