  • 1.  BGP route selection question

    Posted 07-23-2022 21:32
    If the routing table has a prefix learned from bpg neighbor and via instance-import, the bgp selection rules are still the same.
    Any possibility for the following next-hop selected (192.168.0.45) to switch to 192.168.0.57 ?
    run show route table CE2-1.inet.0 192.168.0.88/30 extensive

    The two routes seem to have all the same base criteria and it is simply selecting the oldest one in the table right now.

    If you want to insure that one of the routes is always preferred then you would need to adjust the import policy on one of the peers.  Typically either lowering or raising the local preference value by that peer as needed.  This would insure the routes are used in the desired order at all times.
