load-balancing as-path-ignore

Function

The load-balancing as-path-ignore command configures a router to ignore comparing the AS_Path attributes of the routes among which load balancing is performed.

The undo load-balancing as-path-ignore command disables this function.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

After the load-balancing as-path-ignore command is run, a router does not compare the AS_Path attributes of the routes that are to be used for load balancing. This command applies to the scenarios where EBGP and IBGP routes carry out load balancing. Exercise caution when using the command because the execution of this command will change the conditions of load balancing.

Configuration Impact

The load-balancing as-path-ignore command and the bestroute as-path-ignore command are mutually exclusive. This means that if the bestroute as-path-ignore command is configured, the load-balancing as-path-ignore command cannot be configured.
