outbound-optimization
Enables outbound optimization for IBGP peer-group members.
Syntax
outbound-optimization
Parameters None
Default Not congured
Command Mode ROUTER-BGP
Usage Information Enable or disable outbound optimization dynamically to reset all neighbor sessions. When you enable outbound
optimization, all peers receive the same update packets. The next-hop address chosen as one of the addresses of
neighbor’s reachable interfaces is also the same for the peers. The no version of this command disables outbound
optimization.
NOTE: To congure these settings for a non default VRF instance, you must rst enter the ROUTER-
CONFIG-VRF sub mode using the following commands:
1 Enter the ROUTER BGP mode using the router bgp as-number command.
2 From the ROUTER BGP mode, enter the ROUTER BGP VRF mode using the vrf vrf-name
command.
Example
OS10(conf-router-bgp-10)# outbound-optimization
