The device adds weight to routes that
are received from BGP neighbors. In the BGP4+ path-selection algorithm, routes with larger
weights have preference over routes with smaller weights.
About this task
You can change the weight of routes
that are received from a specified BGP4+ neighbor.
Procedure
-
Access global configuration
mode.
device# configure terminal
-
Access BGP configuration mode.
device(config)# router bgp
-
Specify autonomous system in
which your device resides.
device(config-bgp-router)# local-as 65520
-
Access address family IPv6
unicast configuration mode.
device(config-bgp-router)# address-family ipv6 unicast
-
Specify the neighbor and the
weight that you want to add to routes that are received from that neighbor.
device(config-bgp-ipv6u)# neighbor 2001:db8:e0ff:783a::4 weight 200
This examples shows the neighbor command, the IPv6 address
of the neighbor, the weight keyword, and the weight value of
200.
Example
The following example summarizes the commands in
this procedure.
device# configure terminal
device(config)# router bgp
device(config-bgp-router)# local-as 65520
device(config-bgp-router)# address-family ipv6 unicast
device(config-bgp-ipv6u)# neighbor 2001:db8:e0ff:783a::4 weight 200
