The following task shows the steps required for enabling BGP on a CE device and assigning a PE device as a BGP neighbor. For an example of a full configuration required to exchange routes in an external BGP (EBGP) network, see the EBGP for route exchange task. 
	 
 
	 -  
		  On a CE device, enter the 
			 configure terminal command. 
		   
		  
 
			 device# configure terminal
 
		    
		 -  
		  Enter the 
			 router bgp command to enable BGP routing. 
		   
		  
 
			 device(config)# router bgp
 
		    
		 -  
		  Enter the 
			 local-as command to configure the AS number. 
		   
		  
 
			 device(config-bgp)# local-as 2
 
		    
		 -  
		  Configure a PE BGP neighbor using the 
			 neighbor remote-as command. 
		   
		  
 
			 device(config-bgp)# neighbor 10.33.33.3 remote-as 1
 
		    
		 
 
	  
		The following example enables BGP on a CE and assigns a PE as a BGP neighbor. 
		
 
		
device# configure terminal
device(config)# router bgp 
device(config-bgp)# local-as 2
device(config-bgp)# neighbor 10.33.33.3 remote-as 1
