BGP path attributes are required for a BGP router to determine if a path is accessible, and which path to a given destination prefix is best. There are several different path attributes, some of which are required to be present in BGP Update messages and others of which are optional. In this webinar you'll be exposed to some of the more common BGP path attributes, their purpose, how they can be leveraged to influence the best path decision algorithm and how to utilize them in Cisco IOS. A basic understanding of BGP operation is required for this webinar.
