prefer-in-winner-set bgp

Tells the CNA decision-maker process that it should consider BGP status when selecting a performance route from the winner set.

Syntax
prefer-in-winner-set bgp { enable | disable }
 
no prefer-in-winner-set bgp 
 
Prerequisites

Must be in engine or policy configuration mode (config-engine or config-engine-policy), which requires privileged-level access.

Occurrence

Use once.

Default

Not enabled (CNA decision maker will follow default selection rules)

Description

Use the prefer-in-winner-set bgp enable command as one of the tie-breaker criteria to require that the winning link be at least as good as the BGP selected route. Use the disable keyword to suspend this behavior without removing the command from the configuration.

Enabling BGP-status evaluation ensures that the link chosen from the winner set will perform at least as well as a BGP-selected link that is also in the same winner set. Or, put another way, it ensures that the winning link will not perform any worse than a BGP route in the winner set. It does not, however, guarantee that a BGP selection in the winner set is an automatic winner.

For information about performance route selection criteria, see Winner Set in Chapter 3: Adaptive Path Control of the CNA Adaptive Path Controller Guide.

Use the no form of the command to disable BGP-status evaluation and remove the command from the configuration.
