5. BGP Data

For Proper BGP Add-on functionality, configure an iBGP or eBGP session between NFA and your router(s).

Next go to Management > Inventory > Add device.

Once all the details are provided on the General Settings and Location tabs, go to BGP Settings.

Fill out both OUR AS and PEER AS fields under the BGP settings tab to establish an eBGP session. With eBGP, the route-reflector does not need to be configured, and the router side just needs to be set up as though it’s a transit customer. If OUR AS field is left blank, an iBGP session will be established.

You can always edit an existing device, fill out the required fields under the BGP Settings tab, and hit Save.
