 The output shows two valid routes to destination 9.1.1.0/24. The route with next hop 3.1.1.1
is marked with a greater-than sign (>), indicating that it is the optimal route (because the ID
of Switch B is smaller). The route with next hop 3.1.2.1 is marked with an asterisk (*),
indicating that it is a valid route, but not the optimal route.
 By using the display ip routing-table command, you can find only one route to 9.1.1.0/24
with next hop 3.1.1.1 and output interface VLAN-interface 200.
3. Configure loading balancing:
Because Switch A has two routes to reach AS 65009, configuring load balancing over the two
BGP routes on Switch A can improve link usage.
# Configure Switch A.
[SwitchA] bgp 65008
[SwitchA-bgp-default] address-family ipv4 unicast
[SwitchA-bgp-default-ipv4] balance 2
[SwitchA-bgp-default-ipv4] quit
[SwitchA-bgp-default] quit
Verifying the configuration
# Display the BGP routing table on Switch A.
[SwitchA] display bgp routing-table ipv4
Total number of routes: 3

• The route 9.1.1.0/24 has two next hops, 3.1.1.1 and 3.1.2.1, both of which are marked with a
greater-than sign (>), indicating that they are the optimal routes.
• By using the display ip routing-table command, you can find two routes to 9.1.1.0/24. One
has next hop 3.1.1.1 and output interface VLAN-interface 200, and the other has next hop
3.1.2.1 and output interface VLAN-interface 300.
