How to Configure BGP Weight Attribute

Hi Rene,
Thanks for replying me…yes after set the router id in R3 now everything is up and not getting identifier error:smiley:

R3#sh running-config | include bgp
router bgp 2
bgp router-id 1.1.1.1
bgp log-neighbor-changes

Then conclusion is if we want to use same loop back address in both router then 1st we should set the BGP router id(Like ospf) for specific identification, should not go for normal Router ID election process am i right Rene?

and one thing Rene in your topology picture 'How to configure BGP Weight Attribute" between R2(FastEthernet1/0) & R3(FastEthernet0/0) you didn’t add any IP address in topology picture How%20to%20configure%20BGP%20Weight%20Attributebut in lesson you add when you configured so if you don’t mind here i want to give you a suggestion please add then it will good for the topology picture.:smile:

Thanks & Regards,
