for next hop calculation. Default: the address of the local end
of the interface our neighbor is connected to.
<tag>password <m/string/</tag> Use this password for MD5 authentication
of BGP sessions. Default: no authentication.
<tag>rr client</tag> Be a route reflector and treat neighbor as
route reflection client. Default: disabled.
<tag>rr cluster id <m/IPv4 address/</tag> Route reflectors use cluster id
to avoid route reflection loops. When there is one route reflector in a cluster
it usually uses its router id as a cluster id, but when there are more route
reflectors in a cluster, these need to be configured (using this option) to
use a common cluster id. Clients in a cluster need not known their cluster
id and this option is not allowed to them Default: a same as router id.
<tag>enable as4 <m/switch/</tag> BGP protocol was designed to use 2B AS numbers
and was extended later to allow 4B AS number. BIRD supports 4B AS extension,
but by disabling this option it can be persuaded not to advertise it and
to maintain old-style sessions with its neighbors. This might be useful for
circumventing bugs in neighbor's implementation of 4B AS extension.
Even when disabled (off), BIRD behaves internally as AS4-aware BGP router.
Default: on.
<tag>disable after error <m/switch/</tag> When an error is encountered (either
locally or by the other side), disable the instance automatically
and wait for an administrator to fix the problem manually. Default: off.
