Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series User Manual

PurposeCommand or Action
Example:
Device(config-router)# neighbor
172.16.12.1 weight 50
another BGP peer have a default weight of 0; routes
sourced by the local router have a default weight of
32768.
(Optional) Sets a MED metric to set preferred paths to
external neighbors. All routes without a MED will also
default-metric number
Example:
Device(config-router)#
default-metric 300
Step 6
be set to this value. The range is 1 to 4294967295. The
lowest value is the most desirable.
(Optional) Configures the switch to consider a missing
MED as having a value of infinity, making the path
without a MED value the least desirable path.
bgp bestpath med missing-as-worst
Example:
Device(config-router)# bgp
bestpath med missing-as-worst
Step 7
(Optional) Configures the switch to compare MEDs for
paths from neighbors in different autonomous systems.
bgp always-compare med
Example:
Device(config-router)# bgp
always-compare-med
Step 8
By default, MED comparison is only done among paths
in the same AS.
(Optional) Configures the switch to consider the MED
in choosing a path from among those advertised by
different subautonomous systems within a confederation.
bgp bestpath med confed
Example:
Device(config-router)# bgp
bestpath med confed
Step 9
(Optional) Configures the switch to consider the MED
variable when choosing among routes advertised by
different peers in the same AS.
bgp deterministic med
Example:
Device(config-router)# bgp
deterministic med
Step 10
(Optional) Change the default local preference value.
The range is 0 to 4294967295; the default value is 100.
The highest local preference value is preferred.
bgp default local-preference value
Example:
Device(config-router)# bgp default
local-preference 200
Step 11
(Optional) Configures the number of paths to be added
to the IP routing table. The default is to only enter the
maximum-paths number
Example:
Device(config-router)#
maximum-paths 8
Step 12
best path in the routing table. The range is from 1 to 16.
Having multiple paths allows load-balancing among the
paths. (Although the switch software allows a maximum
of 32 equal-cost routes, the switch hardware will never
use more than 16 paths per route.)
