[c-nsp] Newbie BGP question

[Stephen Wilcox]

Hi Bill,
 if you use the loopback then its industry standard. By having it on an internal software network its also not affected by network events that could disrupt your BGP.

You'll need to reset the BGP session but its pretty straight forwards

I was thinking about changing it because most everyone I see has a public IP for the local ID. Everything is working fine but if I do decide to change it should I put this on a loopback or is VLAN 1 still fine and will I have to soft reset the session or how should I go about this?
