Enables BGP multipath-relax feature, which modifies the definition of an equal cost BGP route.
| multipath-relax | Selects BGP multipath relax feature. |
This feature is disabled by default.
This feature modifies the definition of equal cost BGP routes as specified in RFC-4271. In particular, routes with the same AS-path length, but differing AS numbers in the path are not considered equal cost by default. However, with multipath-relax enabled, routes with the same AS-path length can have differing AS number values in the AS-path and still be considered equal cost.
BGP must be disabled (disable bgp ) first to enable this feature.
The following example enables BGP multipath-relax feature:
enable bgp multipath-relax
This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 22.3.
This command is available on platforms that support the appropriate license. For complete information about software licensing, including how to obtain and upgrade your license and which licenses support the BGP feature, see the Switch Engine v33.1.1 Licensing Guide document.
