Local preference attribute

You can change the value of the LOCAL_PREFERENCE attributes for all routes the router receives. To change the LOCAL_PREF value in ROUTER-BGP mode from 0 to 4294967295 with default 100, use the default local preference value command.

To view the BGP configuration, use the show running-configuration command. A more flexible method for manipulating the LOCAL_PREF attribute value is to use a route-map.

  1. Assign a name to a route map in CONFIGURATION mode.
    route-map map-name {permit | deny | sequence-number}
  2. Change the LOCAL_PREF value for routes meeting the criteria of this route map in ROUTE-MAP mode, then return to CONFIGURATION mode.
    set local-preference value
    exit
  3. Enter ROUTER-BGP mode.
    router bgp as-number
  4. Enter the neighbor to apply the route map configuration in ROUTER-BGP mode.
    neighbor {ip-address}
  5. Apply the route map to the neighbor’s incoming or outgoing routes in ROUTER-BGP-NEIGHBOR-AF mode.
    route-map map-name {in | out)
  6. Enter the peer group to apply the route map configuration in ROUTER-BGP mode.
    template template-name
  7. Apply the route map to the peer group’s incoming or outgoing routes in CONFIG-ROUTER-TEMPLATE-AF mode.
    route-map map-name {in | out}
