First of all, there's nothing wrong with a rather simple looking confinguration. It might show that the configuration language is well thought out and powerful. :-)

Clear configurations prevent errors by making them them more obvious. Above example equals exactly to: protocol bgp ibgp_my_other_router { local 2001:db8:1000::1 as 64515; neighbor 2001:db8:1045::6 as 64515; export all; } ...except just the formatting already exposed an invalid source address. Another example of when you would need a specific source address is when mixing native and tunnelled IPv6. -- Met vriendelijke groet, With kind regards, Leo Vandewoestijne
