Rodrigo,

I don't think there is a difference in your specific case here. Either would
provide the prefixes learned from the neighbor with a WEIGHT value of 100.

Now, what would you do if a couple prefixes being learned from this
neighbour needs to have a weight attribute of 100? Can you use WEIGHT in the
neighbour statement?

HTH,
Shine

Hi,

When using the attribute weight on BGP, what is the difference and when it
should be used either on a route-map or directly with the neighbor, example:

router bgp 100
 no synchronization
 bgp router-id 150.6.6.6
 bgp log-neighbor-changes
 neighbor 54.6.3.254 remote-as 54
 neighbor 54.6.3.254 weight 100

Versus

router bgp 100
 no synchronization
 bgp router-id 150.6.6.6
 bgp log-neighbor-changes
 neighbor 54.6.3.254 remote-as 54
 neighbor 54.6.3.254 route-map SET-WEIGHT in

Route-map SET-WEIGHT permit 10
- set weight 100

Thanks
