Configuring BGP4
The metric [+ | - ]<num> | none parameter sets the MED (metric) value for the route. The default MED value is 0.
You can set the preference to a value from 0 – 4294967295.
• set metric <num> – Sets the route’s metric to the number you specify.
• set metric +<num> – Increases route’s metric by the number you specify.
• set metric -<num> – Decreases route’s metric by the number you specify.
• set metric none – Removes the metric from the route (removes the MED attribute from the BGP4 route).
The next-hop <ip-addr> parameter sets the IP address of the route’s next hop router.
The origin igp | incomplete parameter sets the route’s origin to IGP or INCOMPLETE.
The tag <tag-value> parameter sets the route’s tag. You can specify a tag value from 0 – 4294967295.
NOTE: This parameter applies only to routes redistributed into OSPF.
NOTE: You also can set the tag value using a table map. The table map changes the value only when the
routing switch places the route in the IP route table instead of changing the value in the BGP route table. See
“Using a Table Map To Set the Tag Value” on page 10-68.
The weight <num> parameter sets the weight for the route. You can specify a weight value from
0 – 4294967295.
