Configuring BGP load balancing
If multiple BGP routes that have the same AS_PATH, ORIGIN, LOCAL_PREF, and MED attributes to a
destination exist, you can use the balance command to configure the maximum number of BGP routes for
load balancing to improve link utilization.
To configure BGP load balancing:
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.
system-view N/A
2. Enter BGP view or BGP-VPN
instance view.
• Enter BGP view:
bgp as-number
• Enter BGP-VPN instance view:
a. bgp as-number
b. ipv4-family vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name
Use either method.
3. Configure the maximum
number of BGP routes for load
balancing.
balance [ ebgp | ibgp ] number
By default, load balancing is not
enabled.
Forbidding session establishment with a peer or peer group
This task allows you to temporarily tear down the BGP session to a specific peer or peer group. To recover
