Allied Telesis VERSION 5.4.3-2.6 manual BGP and BGP4+ Weights

BGP and BGP4+ Introduction

BGP and BGP4+ Weights

A weight is a number that you can assign to a route so that you can control the route selection process. The administrative weight is local to the router. A weight can be a number from 0 to 65535. If you have particular neighbors that you want to prefer for most of your traffic, you can assign a higher weight to all routes learned from that neighbor.

To assign a weight to a BGP route, use the following commands in Router Configuration mode:

awplus(config)#

router bgp <asn> This command enters Router Configuration mode

awplus(router-config)#

neighbor <neighborid> weight This command adds a weight to a BGP route specified in the <weight> required <neighborid> parameter.

To assign a weight to a BGP4+ route, use the following commands in Address Family

Configuration mode:

awplus(config)#

router bgp <asn> This command enters Router Configuration mode

awplus(config-router)#

address-family ipv6 [unicast] This command enters Address Family Configuration mode

awplus(router-config-af)#

neighbor <neighborid> weight This command adds a weight to a BGP4+ route specified in the

<weight> required <neighborid> parameter.
