parameter, this parameter may also be used multiple times with different

It is possible to specify network prefix (with <cf/range/ keyword)
instead of explicit neighbor IP address. This enables dynamic BGP
behavior, where the BGP instance listens on BGP port, but new BGP
instances are spawned for incoming BGP connections (if source address
matches the network prefix). It is possible to mix regular BGP instances
with dynamic BGP instances and have multiple dynamic BGP instances with
different ranges.

dynamic BGP behavior is active. Actual names also contain numberic
index to distinguish individual instances. Default: "dynbgp".

Define minimum number of digits for index in names of spawned dynamic
BGP instances. E.g., if set to 2, then the first name would be
