Import Routes into BGP4

You can specify a route to be local. If the same route is received by means of EGP, the local IGP route is preferred. You can also specify a weight that the device adds to routes that are received from the specified BGP neighbor. BGP4 prefers larger weights over smaller weights.

This procedure imports a route with a routemap. For more examples, see the Extreme SLX-OS Command Reference.

With the exception of static network routes, the routes that are imported into BGP4 must first exist in the IPv4 unicast route table.

Access global configuration mode.
```
device# configure terminal
```
Access BGP configuration mode.
```
device(config)# router bgp
```
Access BGP address-family IPv4 unicast configuration mode.
```
device(config-bgp-router)# address-family ipv4 unicast
```
Import the specified prefix into the BGP4 database.
```
device(config-bgp-ipv4u)# network 10.1.1.1/32 route-map myroutemap
```
This example imports the IP prefix 10.1.1.1/32 into the BGP4 database and specifies a route map called myroutemap.
