   Table 1 Parameters for creating a route table for an enterprise router

   Parameter	Setting	Example Value
   Name	Mandatory Enter a name for the route table. The name: Must contain 1 to 64 characters. Can contain letters, digits, underscores (_), hyphens (-), and periods (.).	er-rtb-01
   AS_Path Route Selection	Optional Do not configure: If you select this option, the AS_Path attributes for the routes in a load balancing scenario will be compared and the route with the shortest AS_Path length will be preferred. The AS_Path attribute records all AS numbers that a BGP route passes through from the local end to the destination in the vector order. The fewer the AS numbers recorded in the AS_Path attribute, the shorter the AS_Path length. Ignore same length AS_Path: If you select this option, the AS_Path attributes with the same length for the routes in a load balancing scenario will not be compared. AS_Path prevents BGP loops between ASs. If you select Ignore same length AS_Path, there may be BGP loops.	Do not configure
   Tag	Optional Add tags to help you quickly find your route table. For details, see Overview. NOTE: If you have configured tag policies for route tables, you need to add tags to your route tables based on the tag policies. If you add a tag that does not comply with the tag policies, route tables may fail to be created. Contact the administrator to learn more about tag policies. For details about tag policies, see Tag Policy Overview.	Tag key: test Tag value: 01
   Description	Optional Describe the route table for easy identification.	-

6. Click OK.
