Hi,
It turns out that "bgp bestpath as-path ignore" is available, just would not
show up in "bgp bestpath ?". Anyway, the command would not help in the load
balancing issue. To do the load balancing, we'll need two routes with equal
AD and metric from R1 to R2 and vice versa, the only way to do it is via
static routes, which I think is not allowed in the lab. With static routes
point to the loopback interface, load balancing between R1 and R2 work as
expected.
Thanks,
Chang
