This command creates and enables BGP auto-peering using a range of supplied VLANs, the BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) router ID, and AS number.
| vlans | Designates the VLANs that auto-peering uses. |
| vlan_list | VLAN list (range is 2–4,094). |
| routerid | Designates a BGP router ID. |
| ipaddress | Specifies the BGP router ID as an IP address in IPv4 format (x.y.z.w). |
| AS-number | Designates unique BGP Autonomous System (AS) number. |
| asNumber | Specifies the AS number (1–4,294,967,295). |

This command creates the VLAN list, configures the VLANs with an IPv6 link-local address, and enables IPv6 forwarding. It also creates a loopback VLAN with an IP address of the BGP router ID. Within BGP, the router ID, AS number, and easyBGP capability are configured along with redistribution of host-mobility routes.
A save and reboot is required if ECMP exceeds 16.
A sufficient number of VLANs must be configured to cover all possible number of BGP links. Estimating too low of a VLAN range may result in unexpected connection issues. Resizing the VLAN range requires deleting the AutoBGP setup and recreating it with an appropriate range (see ).
The following example creates auto-peering with VLANs 500 through 505, using BGP router ID at 10.3.4.2 with AS 52:
create auto-peering bgp vlans 500-505 routerid 10.3.4.2 AS-number 52
