The actual commands are in BOLD text so that they stand out from the comment blocks.

!
! Our ASN is 111
router bgp 111
!
! Be a little more forgiving of an occasional missed keepalive.
 no bgp fast-external-fallover
!
! Set the router ID to the loopback IP address of the router.
 bgp router-id 172.17.70.1
!
! Track and punt, via syslog, all interesting observations about our
! neighbors. This command is enabled by default.
 bgp log-neighbor-changes
!
! Announce our netblock(s) in a manner that does not increase CPU
! utilization. Redistributing from an IGP is dangerous as it increases
! the likelihood of flapping and instability. Redistributing static is
! more stable, but requires the CPU to peruse the routing table at a set
! interval to capture any changes. The network statement, combined with
! a null route, is the least expensive (in terms of CPU utilization) and
! most reliable (in terms of stability) option.
 network 1.88.0.0/19
!
! Our first neighbor, 10.10.5.1, is an eBGP peer with the ASN of 333.
 neighbor 10.10.5.1 remote-as 333
!
! Set for soft reconfiguration, thus preventing a complete withdrawal
! of all announced prefixes when clear ip bgp x.x.x.x is typed.
 neighbor 10.10.5.1 soft-reconfiguration inbound
!
! Type in a description for future reference. Not everyone memorizes
! ASNs. :-)
 neighbor 10.10.5.1 description "eBGP with ISP333"
!
! Set up a password for authentication.
 neighbor 10.10.5.1 password bgpwith333
!
! Block any inbound announcments that include bogon networks.
! See the actual bogons prefix-list below.
 neighbor 10.10.5.1 distribute-list bogons in
!
! Announce only those networks we specifically list. This also prevents
! the network from becoming a transit provider. An added bit of protection
! and good netizenship. See the announce prefix-list below.
 neighbor 10.10.5.1 distribute-list announce out
!
! Prevent a mistake or mishap by our peer (or someone with whom our peer
! has a peering agreement) from causing router meltdown by filling the
! routing and BGP tables. This is a hard limit. At 75% of this limit,
! FTOS will issue log messages warning that the neighbor is approaching
! the limit. All log messages should be sent to a remote syslog host.
! The warning water mark can be modified by placing a value after the
! maximum prefix value, e.g. maximum-prefix 250000 50. This will set
! FTOS to issue warning messages when the neighbor reaches 50% of the limit.
! Note that this number may need to be adjusted upward in the future to
! account for growth in the Internet routing table.
 neighbor 10.10.5.1 maximum-prefix 250000
!
! Our next neighbor is 10.10.10.1, an eBGP peer with the ASN of 222.
 neighbor 10.10.10.1 remote-as 222
 neighbor 10.10.10.1 soft-reconfiguration inbound
 neighbor 10.10.10.1 description "eBGP with ISP222"
 neighbor 10.10.10.1 password bgpwith222
 neighbor 10.10.10.1 distribute-list bogons in
 neighbor 10.10.10.1 distribute-list announce out
 neighbor 10.10.10.1 maximum-prefix 250000
!
! This is our iBGP peer, 172.17.70.2.
 neighbor 172.17.70.2 remote-as 111
 neighbor 172.17.70.2 soft-reconfiguration inbound
!
! Again, a handy description.
 neighbor 172.17.70.2 description "iBGP with our other router"
!
 neighbor 172.17.70.2 password bgpwith111
!
! Use the loopback interface for iBGP announcements. This increases the
! stability of iBGP.
 neighbor 172.17.70.2 update-source Loopback0
 neighbor 172.17.70.2 next-hop-self
 neighbor 172.17.70.2 distribute-list bogons in
 neighbor 172.17.70.2 maximum-prefix 250000
!
! If we have multiple links on the same router to the same AS, we like to
! put them to good use. Load balance, per destination, with maximum-paths.
! The limit is sixteen. For our example, we will assume two equal size pipes
! to the same AS.
 maximum-paths ebgp 2
 maximum-paths ibgp 2
!
! Disable proxy ARP on each routed interface
no ip proxy-arp
!
! Now add our null route and the loopback/iBGP route. Remember to add
! more specific non-null routes so that the packets travel to their
! intended destination!
ip route 1.88.0.0/19 Null0
ip route 1.88.50.0/24 192.168.50.5
ip route 1.88.55.0/24 192.168.50.8
ip route 1.88.75.128/17 192.168.50.10
ip route 172.17.70.2/32 192.168.50.2
!
! We protect TCP port 179 (BGP port) from miscreants by limiting
! access. Allow our peers to connect and log all other attempts.
! Remember to apply this ACL to the interfaces of the router or
! add it to existing ACLs.
! Please note that ACL block-bgp would block ALL traffic as written. This
! is designed to focus only on protecting BGP. You MUST modify ACL
! block-bgp to fit your environment and approved traffic patterns.
! This access list MUST then be applied to interface Loopback0.
