Examples

The following example imports the IPv4 network 10.11.12.12/30 into the route map "myroutemap". 

device# configure terminal
device(config)# router bgp
device(config-bgp-router)# network 10.11.12.13/30 route-map myroutemap

The following example imports the IPv6 prefix 2001:db8::/32 into the BGP4+ database and sets a weight of 300. 

device# configure terminal
device(config)# router bgp
device(config-bgp-router)# address-family ipv6 unicast
device(config-bgp-ipv6u)# network 2001:db8::/32 weight 300
