The output shows two valid routes to destination 9.1.1.0/24. The route with next hop 3.1.1.1

is marked with a greater-than sign (>), indicating that it is the optimal route (because the ID
of Switch B is smaller). The route with next hop 3.1.2.1 is marked with an asterisk (*),
indicating that it is a valid route, but not the optimal route.
By using the display ip routing-table command, you can find only one route to 9.1.1.0/24

with next hop 3.1.1.1 and output interface VLAN-interface 200.
3. Configure loading balancing:
Because Switch A has two routes to reach AS 65009, configuring load balancing over the two
BGP routes on Switch A can improve link usage.
# Configure Switch A.
