BGP LOAD BALANCING

Post by didigno »

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know how to enable the BGP load balancing on the 7750SR? Any suggestion?

Thanks

Thanks Mivens. It begun works only once I entered the command router bgp -ibgp-multipath. Wich Cisco you do not need to do it , I guess also with Juniper. It is a weird way that Alcatel use.

BTW thanks for letting me know.

Glad it works for you. I believe it is the same with Cisco IOS:

BGP, by default, will install only one best path in the routing table.

The point is that in we are peering with an eBGP and not iBGP. But, it works only with the command router bgp ibgp-multipath enable.

you need to config also ecmp with ebgp multipath
for example
configure service vprn XX ecmp 2
then
bgp multipath 2
