4. Specify the router as the next
hop of routes sent to a peer or a
peer group.
peer { group-name | ip-address }
next-hop-local
Optional.
By default, MBGP specifies
the local router as the next
hop for routes advertised to
a MBGP EBGP peer or a
peer group, but not for
routes advertised to a
MBGP IBGP peer or a peer
group.
Configuring the AS_PATH attribute
In general, MBGP checks whether the AS-PATH attribute of a route from a peer contains the local AS
number. If it does, MGBP discards the route to avoid routing loops.
To configure the AS-PATH attribute:
Ste
p
Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.
system-view N/A
2. Enter BGP view. bgp as-number N/A
3. Enter IPv4 MBGP address family view.
ipv4-family multicast N/A
4. Configure the AS-PATH attribute.
• Allow the local AS number to
appear in the AS path of routes
from a peer or a peer group
and specify the number of
times that the local AS number
can appear:
peer { group-name |
ip-address } allow-as-loop
[ number ]
• Disable BGP from considering
the AS path during best route
selection:
bestroute as-path-neglect
• Configure the update
messages to a peer or a peer
group not to carry private AS
numbers in the AS path of
routes:
peer { group-name |
ip-address } public-as-only
Optional.
By default:
• The local AS number
cannot appear in routes
from a peer/peer
group.
• BGP considers
AS_PATH during best
route selection.
• BGP updates carry
private AS numbers.
Optimizing MBGP networks
This task involves resetting MBGP connections and configuring load balancing.
