| remoteaddr | Specifies the IPv4 or IPv6 address of a BGP neighbor. |
| all | Specifies all IPv4 and IPv6 neighbors. |
| weight | Specifies a BGP neighbor weight. |
By default, the weight is 1.
All routes learned from this peer are assigned the same weight. The route with the highest weight is more preferable when multiple routes are available to the same network. The range is 0 to 65,535.
higher weight
higher local preference
