Functional Notes
The maximum-paths command can be used to specify the number of paths for a BGP AF on either the
default or nondefault VRF instance to select the best route when there are multiple routes to the same
network. If the AF is to be created on a nondefault VRF instance, the VRF instance must first be created
using the command vrf <name> route-distinguisher on page
VRF instance, you can configure the BGP AF settings for the VRF instance using the command
<name> on page 2877
