Configuring Multiprotocol Label Switching
Configuring Multipath Load Sharing for eBGP and iBGP
To configure iBGP and eBGP routes for multipath load sharing, enter the following commands beginning
in global configuration mode:
Command
Step 1
Router(config)# router bgp as-number
Step 2
Router(config-router)# address-family
ipv4 vrf vrf-name
Step 3
Router(config-router-af)# maximum-paths
eibgp number-of-paths
Example 4-1
select 4 eBGP or iBGP paths as multipaths in address family configuration mode.
Example 4-1
Router(config)# router bgp 50
Router(config-router)3 address-family ipv4 vrf main
Router(config-router-af)# maximum-paths eibgp 4
Verifying Multipath Load Sharing for eBGP and iBGP
To verify that iBGP and eBGP routes are configured for load sharing, enter any of the following
commands in privileged EXEC mode:
Command
Router# show ip bgp vpnv4 all
Router# show ip route vrf vrf-name

BGP Multipath Load Sharing for eBGP and iBGP in an MPLS VPN
Purpose
Configures the router to run a BGP process and enters router
configuration mode.
Configures a VRF instance for an IPv4 session and enters address
family configuration mode.
Configures the number of parallel iBGP and eBGP routes that can
be installed into a routing table. The maximum number of
configurable paths on the PRE2 is 6.
Note
You must configure the maximum-paths eibgp command
in address family IPv4 VRF configuration mode. You
cannot configure the command in any other address
family configuration mode.
Purpose
Displays all available VPNv4 information from the BGP
database.
Displays the IP routing table associated with a virtual routing and
forwarding (VRF) instance.
