Sample Revision of the BGP
Configuration File
T
his chapter discusses how to modify the files that configure the Border Gateway Protocol
(BGP).
Note: To configure the BANDIT to use BGP, see Configuring the BANDIT to Use OSPF or BGP.
G.1
Modifying the BGP Configuration File
You can modify the BGP configuration file, bgpd.conf, via an ASCII text editor or from the
BANDIT menus. To use an ASCII text editor, open the file and make changes as appropriate. This
document discusses editing the file through the BANDIT menus.

Note: The system automatically creates the default file /etc/bgpd.conf when the
software is loaded.
The BANDIT always uses bgpd.conf for BGP configuration. This procedure shows you
how to edit that file.

Note: The listing shown is a template for Encore Networks’ BGP configuration. You
will need to modify the lines for your network. A line that begins with an exclamation
point (!) is a comment. To add comments, start a line with an exclamation point. To
make a line active, remove the initial exclamation point from a commented line.
You need to modify the file to reflect the BGP area for this BANDIT device. The
following steps are examples of the way to modify lines. Ask your network
administrator for all IP addresses and other network information for this BANDIT’s
BGP configuration.

Line 13 in this example shows this BANDIT’s autonomous system number. Do the
following to change the AS number to 7675.
Note: Get all AS numbers from your network administrator.
a While the listing is displayed, type m to modify a line.
❖ The following prompt is displayed.

Enter line number to modify:
b Type the line number you wish to modify and press the Enter key. (In this example,
type 13 and press the Enter key.)
❖ The following prompt is displayed.
Enter line below:
c Type the line exactly as you want it to appear.
Note: Do not type a line number; the system assigns line numbers each time it
displays the file. Otherwise, type the line exactly as it appears in the listing,
substituting the BANDIT’s AS number.

d When you have finished typing the line, press the Enter key.
❖ The BGP configuration file is displayed again, with the new line in place. Line 13 now
shows the BANDIT’s autonomous system number.

10 In this step, we will modify the file to reflect the BANDIT’s IP address. In this listing,
line 14, as shown below, identifies the BANDIT.
Page 6
Routing Module, Document G
14 ! bgp router-id 10.0.0.1
Note: The sample line starts with an exclamation point, indicating that it is a
comment, not an executable line. We will make the line an executable command, and
we will assign the BANDIT’s IP address.
To modify the line, do the following:
a While the listing is displayed, type m to modify a line.
❖ The following prompt is displayed.
Enter line number to modify:
b Type the line number you wish to modify and press the Enter key. (In this example,
type 14 and press the Enter key.)
❖ The following prompt is displayed.
Enter line below:
c Type the line exactly as you want it to appear.
Note: Do not type a line number; the system assigns line numbers each time it
displays the file.
Note that we also do not type an exclamation point, because this will be a live
command. Otherwise, type the line exactly as it appears in the listing, substituting the
IP address for the BANDIT’s WAN port.
bgp router-id 192.168.10.4
d When you have finished typing the line, press the Enter key.
❖ The BGP configuration file is displayed again, with the new line in place. Line 14 is
now a live, executable command, assigning the BANDIT’s WAN IP address.

lines, such as lines_20 and 22.)
