4.Set up the BGP attributes.

If you want to overwrite the attributes that the peer router is sending, then define the following BGP attributes:

￿Specify the AS numbers that you want to prepend to a matched route and the local preference for the matched route.

￿Specify the metric [Multi Exit Discriminator (MED)] for the matched route.

RS G8124(config-route-map)# as-path-preference<AS number>

RS G8124(config-route-map)# local-preference<local preference number>

RS G8124(config-route-map)# metric <metric value>

5.Enable the route map.

RS G8124(config-route-map)# enable

RS G8124(config-route-map)# exit

6.Turn BGP on.

RS G8124(config)# router bgp

RS G8124(config-router-bgp)# enable

7.Assign the route map to a peer router.

Select the peer router and then add the route map to the incoming route map list,

RS G8124(config-router-bgp)# neighbor 1 route-map in <1-32> or to the outgoing route map list.

RS G8124(config-router-bgp)# neighbor 1 route-map out <1-32>

8.Exit Router BGP mode.

RS G8124(config-router-bgp)# exit
