Command Line Reference Guide

Usage
Information
Loopback interfaces are up constantly and the BGP session may need one
interface constantly up to stabilize the session. The neighbor update-source
command is not necessary for directly connected internal BGP sessions.
neighbor weight
Assign a weight to the neighbor connection, which is used to determine the best path.
Syntax
neighbor {ipv6-address | peer-group-name} weight weight
To remove a weight value, use the no neighbor {ipv6-address | peer-
group-name
} weight weight command.
Parameters
ipv6-address Enter the IPv6 address in the x:x:x:x::x format.
NOTE: The :: notation specifies successive hexadecimal
fields of zeros.
peer-group-
name
Enter the name of the peer group to set the timers for all
routers within the peer group.
weight Enter a number as the weight. The range is from 0 to 65535.
The default is 0.
Defaults 0

Command
History
Version 9.2(0.0) Introduced on the MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module.
Usage
Information
In the system best path selection process, the path with the highest weight value is
preferred.
NOTE: To apply the weight to the connection and recompute the best path,
reset the neighbor connection (the capture bgp-pdu max-buffer-size
* command).
network
Specify the networks for the BGP process and enter them in the BGP routing table.
Syntax
network ipv6-address prefix-length [route-map map-name]
To remove a network, use the no network ip-address mask [route-map
map-name] command.
