Setup Guide

router bgp as-number
5 Apply the route-map to the neighbor or peer group’s incoming or outgoing routes.
CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode
neighbor {ip-address | ipv6-address | peer-group-name} route-map map-name {in | out}
Example conguration for manipulating the LOCAL_PREFERENCE attribute
DellEMC# configure terminal
DellEMC(conf)# route-map route1 permit 10
DellEMC(conf-route-map)# set local-preference 140
DellEMC(conf-route-map)# exit
DellEMC(conf)# router bgp 400
DellEMC(conf-router_bgp)# neighbor 10.10.10.2 route-map route1 in
In the above example conguration, a route-map named route1 is created with a clause to set the specied local preference value, which
is 140.
To view the BGP conguration, use the show config command in CONFIGURATION ROUTER BGP mode. To view a route-map
conguration, use the show route-map command in EXEC Privilege mode.
Conguring the local System or a Dierent System to be the Next Hop for
BGP-Learned Routes
You can congure the local router or a dierent router as the next hop for BGP-learned routes.
To change how the NEXT_HOP attribute is used, enter the rst command. To view the BGP conguration, use the show config
command in CONFIGURATION ROUTER BGP mode or the show running-config bgp command in EXEC Privilege mode.
You can also use route maps to change this and other BGP attributes. For example, you can include the second command in a route map to
specify the next hop address.
• Disable next hop processing and congure the router (route reector) as the next hop for a BGP neighbor.
CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode
neighbor {ip-address | ipv6-address | peer-group-name} next-hop-self [all]
If you do not use the all keyword, the next hop of only eBGP-learned routes is updated by the route reector. If you use the all
keyword, the next hop of both eBGP- and iBGP-learned routes are updated by the route reector.
• Sets the next hop address.
CONFIG-ROUTE-MAP mode
set next-hop ip-address
If the set next-hop command is applied on the out-bound interface using a route map, it takes precedence over the neighbor
next-hop-self
command.
Changing the WEIGHT Attribute
To change how the WEIGHT attribute is used, enter the rst command. You can also use route maps to change this and other BGP
attributes. For example, you can include the second command in a route map to specify the next hop address.
• Assign a weight to the neighbor connection.
CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode
neighbor {ip-address | ipv6-address | peer-group-name} weight weight
weight: the range is from 0 to 65535. The default is 0.
