neighbor link

Binds a service provider access link to a BGP neighbor.

neighbor <address> link <name>
 
no neighbor <address> link <name>
 

• address--IP address of the BGP neighbor, in dotted decimal format (a.b.c.d)
• name--name of the service provider link (see link and show link commands)

Must be in BGP configuration mode (config-engine-bgp), which requires privileged-level access.

Use once.

Use the no form of the command to remove the neighbor link line from the configuration.

Link names are used as database keys when retrieving data from the trending database. Removal of links from the configuration, or renaming them, after the trending database has accumulated data can result in confusing trend-report graphics. See Y Axis Key Lists in Chapter 2: Reports of the CNA Reporting Guide.
