Assigns an AS number to this BGP peer. 

ip bgp neighbor ip_address remote-as value

32-bit IP address of the BGP peer. 

Autonomous system number in the range 1 - 65535.

OmniSwitch 6850, 6855, 9000, 9000E

• A BGP peer created with the

command cannot be enabled (

) until it is assigned an autonomous system number. If the AS number matches the AS number 

assigned to the local BGP speaker (assigned using the

 command), the peer 

is considered internal to the local autonomous system. Otherwise, the peer is consider external to the 
local BGP speaker’s AS. 

• This BGP peer may not be operational within this router and it may be in an external AS, but it must 

still be configured on this router before the local BGP speaker can establish a connection to the peer. 
The local BGP speaker does not auto-discover peers in other routers; it initially learns about peers 
through the peer commands.

• The BGP peer is restarted after issuing this command.
