1.
|
Ignore a route if the next hop is not known.
|
2.
|
Ignore IBGP routes that are not synchronized.
|
3.
|
Prefer the route with the largest weight.
|
4.
|
Prefer the route with the largest local preference.
|
5.
|
Prefer the route that was locally originated.
|
6.
|
Prefer the route with the shortest AS path.
If you're using bgp bestpath as-path ignore, skip this step. When you use the as-set option for aggregated routes, as_set counts as 1 regardless of the number of AS entries in the set. Confederation sub-AS numbers are not used to determine the AS-path length. |
7.
|
Prefer the route with the lowest origin (IGP < EGP < Incomplete).
|
8.
|
Prefer the route with the lowest MED.This comparison is only between routes advertised by the same external AS.
If you're using bgp always-compare-med, compare MEDs for all paths. If used, this command needs to be configured on every BGP router in the AS. If you're using bgp bestpath med-confed, the MEDs are compared only for routes that have an AS confederation sequence in their AS-path attribute. If a prefix is received with no MED value, the prefix is assigned a MED value of 0. If you're using bgp bestpath med missing-as-worst, a prefix with a missing MED value is assigned a MED value of 4,294,967,294. |
9.
|
Prefer EBGP routes to IBGP routes.
|
10.
|
Prefer the route with the nearest IGP neighbor.
|
11.
|
Prefer the oldest route.
|
12.
|
Prefer the path received from the router with the lowest router ID.
