I was hoping someone could assist with defining a local constant for a BGP 'source address' through dynamic means. An example would be 'router id from' where a mask and prefix can be identified to inherit the router ID.

router id from "lo*" 192.168.0.0/24;

saddr = <whatever router id inherited>

I was hoping that router id would be an internal symbol, but I don't see it in the 'show symbols ...' output.

Any thoughts? The goal is to make this configuration as dynamic as possible, so that it can be deployed to a number of systems without manual changes on each.
