Configuring AIGP

The AIGP metric is an optional, non-transitive attribute that can be attached to selected routes using route policies. In networks that use AIGP, BGP paths with a lower end-to-end IGP cost are preferred, even if the compared paths span more than one AS or IGP instance.

AIGP is supported only in the base router BGP instance and only for label-IPv4 and 6PE routes. The AIGP attribute is only sent to peers configured using the configure>router>bgp>group>aigp and configure>router>bgp>group>neighbor>aigp commands.

Example: BGP policy configuration output

The following is a sample BGP policy configuration output with AIGP attribute information included.
