Basic configuration example for Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) using Cisco IOS syntax:

 router bgp [AS number]
 neighbor [neighbor IP address] remote-as [neighbor AS number]
 network [network IP address]


In this example,
[AS number] should be replaced with the Autonomous System (AS) number that your router is part of.
[neighbor IP address] should be replaced with the IP address of the BGP neighbor that you want to establish a connection with, and
[neighbor AS number] should be replaced with the AS number of the neighbor.
[network IP address] should be replaced with the IP address of the network that you want to advertise to your BGP neighbors.

Here's a breakdown of what each line in the configuration example does:

router bgp [AS number]: This command enters BGP configuration mode and sets the AS number for the router.
neighbor [neighbor IP address] remote-as [neighbor AS number]: This command establishes a BGP neighbor relationship with the specified neighbor. [neighbor IP address] is the IP address of the neighbor router and [neighbor AS number] is the AS number of the neighbor.
network [network IP address]: This command advertises the specified network to BGP neighbors. [network IP address] is the IP address of the network that you want to advertise.
This is just a basic example, and there are many other BGP configuration options and settings that can be configured based on your specific network requirements. It's important to consult the official documentation and best practices for BGP configuration before implementing it in a production network.
