Add a BGP neighbor

To add a neighbor, specify the neighbor router's IPv4 address and AS number.

  1. Go to Routing > BGP.
  2. Under Neighbors, click Add.
  3. Specify the IPv4 address of the neighbor router.
  4. Specify the remote autonomous system (AS) number of the neighbor. Acceptable range: 1 to 4294967295.
  5. Click Save.
  6. Click Save.

Note

By default, the firewall only advertises networks to neighbors of the same IP version.

Note

Editing the BGP neighbor configuration through the web admin console removes the associated advanced route settings configured through the CLI, such as the neighbor password.

If you have advanced route configuration, we recommend you always edit through the CLI. See Routing FAQ.
