What format does the BGP router ID take when configuring MP-BGP?

  • 64-bit hex value
  • 128-bit hex value
  • 32-bit dotted decimal value
  • 16-bit hex value

Explanation: BGP defines a 32-bit router ID (RID) that is always written in dotted-decimal notation. If a router is running BGP over an IPv6 transport with no IPv4 addresses, the RID must be manually configured using this 32-bit format.
