	BIRD is able to act as a router located in multiple AS'es simultaneously,
	but in such cases you need to tweak the BGP paths manually in the filters
	to get consistent behavior.) Optional <cf/ip/ argument specifies a source

	address, equivalent to the <cf/source address/ option (see below).
	Optional </cf/port> argument specifies the local BGP port instead of
	standard port 179. The parameter may be used multiple times with
	different sub-options (e.g., both <cf/local 10.0.0.1 as 65000;/ and
	<cf/local 10.0.0.1; local as 65000;/ are valid). This parameter is
	mandatory.

	<tag><label id="bgp-neighbor">neighbor [<m/ip/] [port <m/number/] [as <m/number/]</tag>
	Define neighboring router this instance will be talking to and what AS
	it is located in. In case the neighbor is in the same AS as we are, we
	automatically switch to iBGP. Optionally, the remote port may also be
	specified. The parameter may be used multiple times with different
	sub-options (e.g., both <cf/neighbor 10.0.0.1 as 65000;/ and

	<tag><label id="bgp-iface">interface <m/string/</tag>
