PurposeCommand or Action
Configures the BGP software to ignore the autonomous system
length when performing best-path selection.
bgp bestpath as-path ignore
Example:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# bgp
bestpath as-path ignore
Step 6
Configure the BGP speaker in the autonomous system to
compare the router IDs of similar paths.
bgp bestpath compare-routerid
Example:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# bgp
bestpath compare-routerid

Step 8
Indicating BGP Back-door Routes
Perform this task to set the administrative distance on an external Border Gateway Protocol (eBGP) route to
that of a locally sourced BGP route, causing it to be less preferred than an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP)
route.

DETAILED STEPS
PurposeCommand or Action
configure
Step 1
Specifies the autonomous system number and enters the
BGP configuration mode, allowing you to configure the
BGP routing process.
router bgp as-number
Example:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# router bgp 120
Step 2
Specifies either the IPv4 or IPv6 address family and enters
address family configuration submode.
address-family { ipv4 | ipv6 } unicast
Example:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)#
address-family ipv4 unicast
