protocols bgp <asn> parameters bestpath compare-routerid

Directs the router to compare identical routes received from different external peers during best path selection.

set protocols bgp asn parameters bestpath compare-routerid
delete protocols bgp asn parameters bestpath compare-routerid
show protocols bgp asn parameters bestpath

By default, when making the best-path selection, the router does not compare identical routes received from different external peers.

asn
The number of the AS in which this router resides. The numbers range from 1 through 4294967294. The subrange, 64512 through 65534, is reserved for private AS.
