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
