45.2.3 BEIGRP Configuration Task
45.2.3.1 Activating BEIGRP
Perform the following operations to create a BEIGRP process:
Command Purpose
router beigrpas-number
Adds a BEIGRP process in global
configuration mode.
networknetwork-number
network-mask
Adds network segment to the BEIGRP
process in route configuration mode.
After the above configuration is complete, BEIGRP starts to run on all interfaces of the network segment.
BEIGRP finds new neighbors through hello message and interacts original routes through update information.
45.2.3.2 Configuring Bandwidth Occupancy Percent
In default state, BEIGRP occupies up to 50% of bandwidth. You can run the following command in VLAN
interface configuration mode to adjust the bandwidth that can be used by BEIGRP.
Command Purpose
ip beigrp
bandwidth-percentpercent
Configures the maximum bandwidth percent
for the BEIGRP message.
45.2.3.3 Regulating Coefficient of BEIGRP Compound Distance
In some cases, the coefficient of BEIGRP compound distance need be regulated, which finally affects the
routing strategy. Though the default coefficient used by BEIGRP is suitable for most network conditions, you
need to regulate it in some special cases. The regulation may cause great change of the whole network. Be
careful when you perform this regulation.
Run the following command in route configuration mode:
Command Purpose
metric weightsk1 k2 k3 k4 k5
Regulates the coefficient of the
BEIGRP compound distance.
45.2.3.4 Regulating the Compound Distance Through Offset
You can add all incoming and outgoing routes purposively according to requirements using the offset table, or
add compound distances of several suitable routes. The purpose is to affect the routing result of the router. In
the configuration process, you can selectively specify the access list or the application interface in the offset
list to further confirm routes which the offset is added to.
Command Purpose
offset{type number | *} {in | out}
access-list-name offset
Applies a offset table.
