Changing the WEIGHT Attribute

To change how the WEIGHT attribute is used, enter the first command. You can also use route maps to change this and other BGP attributes. For example, you can include the second command in a route map to specify the next hop address.

  • Assign a weight to the neighbor connection.
    CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode
    neighbor {ip-address | ipv6-address | peer-group-name} weight weight
    weight: the range is from 0 to 65535. The default is 0.
  • Sets weight for the route.
    CONFIG-ROUTE-MAP mode
    set weight weight
    weight: the range is from 0 to 65535.
    NOTE The weight assigned using the set weight command under route map configuration override the weight assigned using the neighbor weight command.

Example configuration for changing the WEIGHT attribute

DellEMC# configure terminal
DellEMC(conf)# router bgp 400
DellEMC(conf-router_bgp)# neighbor 10.10.10.1 remote-as 500
DellEMC(conf-router_bgp)# neighbor 10.10.10.1 weight 150
DellEMC(conf-router_bgp)# exit

In the above configuration example, the weight attribute for routes received from the neighbor 10.10.10.1 is set to 150.

To view BGP configuration, use the show config command in CONFIGURATION ROUTER BGP mode or the show running-config bgp command in EXEC Privilege mode.
