Hi,
>From my understanding, there can be only one neighbor here, but you can set
different parts of it with multiple directives, i.e.:
neighbor 10.0.1.1;
neighbor as 65000;
But two different IPs would be two neighbors and you must have two separate
bgp protocols for that. Or a dynamic protocol that spawns specific
protocols.
Regards,
Alexander
