configure bgp neighbor weight
configure bgp neighbor [<remoteaddr> | all] weight <weight>
Description
Assigns a locally-used weight to a neighbor connection for the route selection algorithm.
Syntax Description
Default
By default, the weight is 0.
Usage Guidelines
All routes learned from this peer are assigned the same weight. The route with the highest weight is
more preferable when multiple routes are available to the same network. The range is 0 to 65,535.
BGP selects routes based on the following precedence (from highest to lowest):
●
higher weight
●
higher local preference
●
shortest length (shortest AS path)
●
lowest origin code
●
lowest MED
●
route from external peer
●
lowest cost to Next Hop
●
lowest routerID
