neighbor remote-as

Description

Creates a peer, initiates the connection to the peer, and adds an entry to the BGP neighbor table. Specifies a neighbor with an autonomous system (AS) number that identifies the neighbor as internal to the local autonomous system. Otherwise, the neighbor is considered as external. By default, neighbors that are defined using this command, exchange only unicast address prefixes.

The no form of this command disables the peer session and deletes the peer information.
