Weight

Scenario to verify BGP peer-group weight configuration.

Weight is a locally significant BGP attribute used to influence path selection. It is the first criterion evaluated in the bestpath algorithm — the route with the highest weight is preferred. When weight is configured on a peer-group, all routes received from neighbors that belong to that peer-group inherit the configured weight value.

In this test, DUT0 defines a peer-group MYGROUP with weight 5 and assigns the neighbor to it. DUT1 redistributes a directly connected network. The test verifies that the route received from DUT1 has the weight value inherited from the peer-group configuration.

Test iBGP - Peer-group weight is applied to received routes

Description

Test that weight configured on a peer-group is inherited by its members. DUT0 creates peer-group MYGROUP with weight 5 and assigns the neighbor to it. DUT1 redistributes connected networks. The test verifies that the route received by DUT0 has weight 5 applied through the peer-group inheritance.

Scenario

Note

DUT0 defines peer-group MYGROUP with weight 5 and assigns the neighbor to it.

Step 1: Set the following configuration in DUT0 :

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 10.10.0.100/24
set protocols bgp 20 neighbor peer peer-group MYGROUP
set protocols bgp 20 neighbor peer remote-address 10.10.0.200
set protocols bgp 20 neighbor peer remote-as 20
set protocols bgp 20 peer-group MYGROUP remote-as 20
set protocols bgp 20 peer-group MYGROUP weight 5
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'

Step 2: Set the following configuration in DUT1 :

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 10.10.0.200/24
set protocols bgp 20 neighbor peer remote-address 10.10.0.100
set protocols bgp 20 neighbor peer remote-as 20
set protocols bgp 20 redistribute connected
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'

Attention

Verify iBGP session establishes between DUT0 and DUT1.

Step 3: Run command protocols bgp show ip summary at DUT0 and check if output matches the following regular expressions:

10.10.0.200.*Established

Attention

Verify the neighbor is a member of peer-group MYGROUP.

Step 4: Run command protocols bgp show ip neighbors neighbor peer at DUT0 and check if output matches the following regular expressions:

Member of peer-group MYGROUP
