Example of the show ip bgp summary Command (2-Byte AS number displayed)
Example of the show ip bgp summary Command (4-Byte AS number displayed)
Example of the show ip bgp neighbors Command
Example of Verifying BGP Configuration
NOTE: When you change the configuration of a BGP neighbor, always reset it by entering the clear ip
bgp * command in EXEC Privilege mode.
To view the BGP configuration, enter show config in CONFIGURATION ROUTER BGP mode. To view the
BGP status, use the
show ip bgp summary command in EXEC Privilege mode. The first example shows the
summary with a 2-byte AS number displayed (in bold); the second example shows that the summary with a 4-
byte AS number using the show ip bgp summary command (displays a 4–byte AS number in bold).

For the router’s identifier, Dell Networking OS uses the highest IP address of the Loopback interfaces
configured. Because Loopback interfaces are virtual, they cannot go down, thus preventing changes in the
Border Gateway Protocol IPv4 (BGPv4) 227
