BGP Commands

Creates or deletes a BGP network. A network must be known to the local BGP speaker; it also must origi-
nate from the local BGP speaker. The network may be directly connected, dynamically learned, or static.

In lieu of these options, the base command (ip bgp network) may be used with other keywords to set up 
network configuration. These keywords are listed here and described as separate commands later in this 
chapter. In addition, some keywords have a no form to remove the parameter or return it to its default.

• Use the no form of this command to delete a local network.

• Creating and enabling a network entry indicates to BGP that this network should originate from this 

router. The network specified must be known to the router, whether it is connected, static, or dynami-
cally learned. 

• You can create up to 200 network entries. The basic 

 command will display every 

network currently defined. 

• This command allows administrative operations on a BGP network. You must still enable the network 

through the

command.
