set weight


Sets the route weight.

Syntax: set weight weight

no set weight

weight

Valid values are integers from 0 to 65535. By default, paths that the router originates have a weight of 32768. Other paths have a weight of 0.

Description: Use the set weight command to specify the BGP weight for this router.

Use the no set weight command to delete a weight entry from this route map.

Route maps consist of sets of match and set commands. Match commands define the match criteria for route maps. Routes that match the match criteria are processed according to the actions defined by the set commands. Routes that do not match at least one of the match criteria in the route map are ignored.

Use the route-map command to create a route map. Use the various match and set commands to define the conditions for redistributing routes between protocols or instances of the same protocol.

Weight is used for best path selection. Weight is assigned locally to the router. It is not propagated or carried through any of the route updates. Routes with a higher weight are preferred when multiple routes exist to the same destination.

Weights set using the set weight command override weights set using the neighbor weight and neighbor filter-list commands.

Factory Default: Weight is not modified by this route map.

Command Mode: Route map configuration.

Example: In the following example:

router(config)#ip as-path access-list 1 permit _234_

router(config)#ip as-path access-list 1 deny any

router(config-router)#route-map set-weight permit 10

router(config-route-map)#match as-path 1

router(config-route-map)#set weight 100

router(config-route-map)#end

router(config)#
