Activate BGP in Cisco FTD

[Firstwavetechnology]

Hi,

I can show BGP in Cisco FTD from command line interface with this command: "show bgp"

How can I activate BGP and set its ASN from command line interface?

Also, when BGP is not active, I get the following correct response:

> show bgp

% BGP not active

However, after I activate BGP from the web GUI, why do I not get any information (i.e. empty response)?

> show bgp

Thanks.

You cannot configure FTD from CLI, you will need to use FMC (or FDM for small ASAs) UI to configure bgp. 

"show bgp" displays your bgp routing table so in case you dont have any neighbors up you will see nothing.
