Changing the LOCAL_PREFERENCE Attribute

In Dell EMC Networking OS, you can change the value of the LOCAL_PREFERENCE attribute, so that the preferred path can be changed.

To change the default values of this attribute for all routes received by the router, use the following command.
Change the LOCAL_PREF value.
CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode
bgp default local-preference value
value: the range is from 0 to 4294967295. The default is 100.

Example configuration of changing the LOCAL_PREFERENCE attribute

DellEMC# configure terminal
DellEMC(conf)# router bgp 400
DellEMC(conf_router_bgp)# neighbor 10.10.10.1 remote-as 500
DellEMC(conf_router_bgp)# bgp default local-preference 150
DellEMC(conf_router_bgp)# exit

In the above example configuration, the default LOCAL_PREFERENCE value is changed to 150 for all the updates from AS 500 to AS 400. The default value is 100.

To view the BGP configuration, use the show config command in CONFIGURATION ROUTER BGP mode or the show running-config bgp command in EXEC Privilege mode.
