BGP Device ID

If a router-id configuration is present in the system, then device-id is used as the router-id. Otherwise, the device checks for a loopback interface. The IP address configured on that interface is chosen as the device-id.

If a loopback interface is not configured, the device-id is chosen from the lowest-numbered IP interface address configured on the device. After the device-id is chosen, the device identifier is not calculated unless the configured IP address is deleted.
