Delaying sending the BGP open message
Syntax:
[no] bgp open-on-accept
Delays sending the BGP Open message until an OPEN message is received. When this command is specified,
an OPEN message will be immediately sent when the TCP connection has completed for configured peers. If the
peer is not configured (is matched by an allow clause, but not a peer command), it will continue to wait for the
OPEN message from the remote peer before sending its own BGP OPEN message.
Specifying the maximum routes that BGP will accept for installation into
the RIB
Syntax:
[no] bgp maximum-prefix
max-routes
Specifies the maximum number of routes that BGP will accept for installation into the Routing information Base
(RIB). Use the
no
form of the command to set the parameter to its default value.
Enabling comparison of MED for paths from neighbors in different
autonomous systems
Syntax:
[no] bgp always-compare-med
Enables the comparison of the Multi Exit Discriminator (MED) for paths from neighbors in different autonomous
systems. To disallow the comparison, use the no form of this command.
The MED is one of the parameters that is considered when selecting the best path among many alternative paths.
The path with a lower MED is preferred over a path with a higher MED. During the best-path selection process,
MED comparison is done only among paths from the same autonomous system. The
bgp always-compare-
med
command is used to change this behavior by enforcing MED comparison between all paths, regardless of the
autonomous system from which the paths are received.
Specifying the number of times an AS number can appear in AS_PATH
Syntax:
[no] bgp allowas-in
num-loops
Specifies the number of times an Autonomous System number can appear in the AS_PATH. Use the
no
form of
the command to set the parameter to its default value of ‘1’.
Configuring BGP to not consider AS_PATH
Syntax:
[no] bgp bestpath as-path-ignore
Configures Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) to not consider the autonomous system (AS)-path during best path
route selection. To restore default behavior and configure BGP to consider the AS-path during route selection, use
the no form of this command. By default, the AS-path is considered during BGP best path selection.
