bgp bestpath as-path multipath-relax

Description

Configures Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) to treat two BGP routes as equal cost even if their AS-paths differ, as long as their AS-path lengths and other relevant attributes are the same. This allows routes with different AS-paths to be programmed into the forwarding table as equal cost multipath routes.

Any changes in BGP configuration are applied by restarting the current BGP sessions on the VRFs.

The no form of this command restores the default behavior which configures BGP to treat two BGP routes as different costs when their AS-paths differ.
