bgp bestpath compare-routerid

Syntax

bgp bestpath compare-routerid

no bgp bestpath compare-routerid

Description

This command configures a BGP routing process to compare identical routes received from different external peers during the best path selection process and selects the route with the lowest router ID as the best path. Defaults to disabled.

Any changes in BGP configuration are applied by restarting the current BGP sessions in the VRFs.

The no form of this command returns the BGP routing process to the default operation. By default, BGP selects the route that was received first when two routes with identical attributes are received.
