INE Live Webinar: Introduction to BGP Path Attributes

BGP path attributes are required for a BGP router to determine if a path is accessible, and which path to a given destination prefix is best. There are several different path attributes, some of which are required to be present in BGP Update messages and others of which are optional. In this webinar you'll be exposed to some of the more common BGP path attributes, their purpose, how they can be leveraged to influence the best path decision algorithm and how to utilize them in Cisco IOS. A basic understanding of BGP operation is required for this webinar.

This is probably the best explanation of BGP path attributes that I've come across. Thanks, Keith!

Great content, but I wish you did more verifications before and after manipulating the attributes. Especially before

[jhayatmobile]

we can make acronyms for the list of paths list. WLLA OMNI Older NID RID

Great content, it would help a lot if you make available the configs

Why use Cisco ios, is it bad to use open source bird2?

[UbaidKhan-fpcm]

I have a question:
For a Redundant BGP peering with 2 different ISPs, is it possible to make BGP switch Peers based on Bandwidth Utilization over the Primary Peer.

So if the Bandwidth Utilization goes above 80% for the ISP1 peering, can we make BGP peer failover to the ISP2?

Need your help on this.
