TO CONFIGURE NETWORKS TO BE ADVERTISED
For eBGP, the network statement is one way to decide which networks from the
router's own routing table will go into the router's BGP table and be announced to
its eBGP peers. The route must have an exact match in the router's own routing
table, otherwise it will not be advertised by BGP. The network statement decides
where the update is to be sent.
This command is also used to configure BGP weight. A weight, is a number that
can be assigned to a path so that the path selection process can be controlled.
The administrative weight is local to the router.

<name>|weight <0-65535>}]

networks to be advertised through BGP.
backdoor: This specifies a backdoor
route to a BGP border router that will
provide better information about the
network.

a BGP network.
