The web interface displays converted values of the AS number entered. If the number entered is an A.B format, the web interface displays the corresponding 32-bit conversion below the entered value. If the number entered is a 32-bit format, the web interface displays the corresponding A.B value below the entered value. The

Enter an
MD5 Secret
between 1 and 32 characters.
The default value is 0.

Configure prefixes to advertise to WAN and LAN.

Branch ION devices can learn or advertise prefixes based on the scope configured. A branch ION device does not advertise routes learned on one BGP peer to another BGP peer. The device advertises only LAN networks, static routes, and interface addresses. To advertise any of these prefixes, set the

Scope

to

Global

when configuring a BGP peer.

Configure
Prefix Advertisement to LAN
in any of the following ways:
Default—The device advertises only the default prefix (0.0.0.0/0)
and (::/0)
. This is the default setting for LAN prefix advertisement.
Unaggregated—The device advertises prefixes as is.
Auto-Aggregated—The device summarizes the unaggregated prefixes into the largest possible blocks and advertises the prefixes.
The device advertises only
Default
,
Unaggregated
or
Auto-Aggregated
to the LAN.
Configure
Prefix Advertisement to WAN
in any of the following ways:
None (--)—The device does not advertise prefixes. This is the default setting for WAN prefix advertisement.
Unaggregated—The device advertises prefixes as is.
Auto-Aggregated—The device summarizes the unaggregated prefixes into the largest possible blocks and advertises the prefixes.
Manually Aggregated—You can configure a set of prefixes which the device aggregates and advertises.
Manual Summary Aggregate Only—You can configure a set of prefixes which the device summarizes into the largest possible blocks and advertises these prefixes.
Check the
IP Prefix to Advertise to WAN
IP Addresses displayed.

Keepalive Time
—Enter a keep-alive time between 3 - 200 seconds. If you have configured a BGP peer, the device uses the value specified in the BGP peer configuration. If you do not configure a BGP peer or do not specify a value in the BGP global configuration, the keep-alive time defaults to 30 seconds.
Hold Time
—Enter a hold time between 3 - 600 seconds. The hold time needs to be three times greater than the keep-alive time. If you have configured a BGP peer, the device uses the value specified in the BGP peer configuration. If you have not configured a BGP peer, the device uses the value from the BGP global configuration. If you do not configure a BGP peer or do not specify a value in the BGP global configuration, the Hold Time defaults to 90 seconds.
Multihop Limit
—Enter a multi-hop limit between 1 - 255 hops. The default is 1 hop.
Max Paths
—Enter a max path between 1 - 255. The default is 1.
Advertise Interval
— Enter an advertisement interval between 0 - 300 seconds. The default is 1 second.
Peer Retry Time
—Enter a peer retry time between 0 - 65535 seconds. The default is 120 seconds.
Graceful Restart
—By default
graceful restart
is
Off
. Select
On
to change the default setting.
StalePath Time
—Enter a stalepath time between 1 - 3600 seconds. The default is 120 seconds.
Admin Distance
—Enter a value between 1 - 255. The device sets the default
Admin Distance
of all learned prefixes to 20. The
Admin Distance
configured for a static route overrides the
Admin Distance
configured for a BGP route.
