Neighbor IP: Address of BGP's peer device.

Neighbor AS Number: AS number of the device with which BGP is established.

Update-Source: Updated source address of BGP for the Network Secure device.

EBGP Max Hop Count: Maximum number of EBGP hops for the Network Secure device.

Inbound Route Map Tag: Set the route reception filtering policy based on this routing policy for the peer.

Next-Hop Self: By default, when a router advertises routes to IBGP peers/peer groups, it does not use its own address as the next hop. However, sometimes to ensure that IBGP neighbors can find the next hop, you can configure it to use its own address as the next hop.

BFD: When a link failure occurs between the local router and the BGP peer, BFD can rapidly detect the issue to accelerate BGP convergence.
