Configuring BGP policy globally

Delays sending the BGP Open message until an OPEN message is received.

Specifies the maximum number of routes that BGP will accept for installation into the Routing Information Base (RIB).

Enables the comparison of the Multi Exit Discriminator (MED) for paths from neighbors in different autonomous systems.

Specifies the number of time an Autonomous System number can appear in the AS_PATH.

Configures Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) to not consider the autonomous system (AS)-path during best path route selection.

By default, the AS-path is considered during BGP best path selection.

Specifies to break ties between routes based the Originator ID value instead of the neighbor’s router ID.

To configure a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing process to compare identical routes received from different external peers during the best path selection process and to select the route with the lowest router ID as the best path, use the bgp bestpath compare-routerid command in router configuration mode.

To configure a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing process to assign a value of infinity (max possible) to routes that are missing the Multi Exit Discriminator (MED) attribute (making the path without a MED value the least desirable path), use the bgp bestpath med missing-as-worst command in router configuration mode.

Causes a BGP MED to be set on routes when they are advertised to peers.

A route’s preference specifies how active routes that are learned from BGP (compared to other protocols) will be selected.

Enables or disables client-to-client route reflection.

When acting as a route-reflector, this functionality is enabled by default.
