Release Information

Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 11.3.

Description

Specify the number of paths to a destination to advertise.

Suppose a routing device has in its routing table four paths to a destination and is configured to advertise up to three paths (add-path send path-count 3). The three paths are chosen based on path selection criteria. That is, the three best paths are chosen in path-selection order. The best path is the active path. This path is removed from consideration and a new best path is chosen. This process is repeated until the specified number of paths is reached.

Options

number—Number of paths to a destination to advertise.

Range: 2 through 6

Default: 1

Required Privilege Level
