Configuring the Local-Pref Attribute

The local-pref attribute specifies the preferred path among multiple paths to the same destination. The preferred path is the one with the higher preference value. Local preference is used only within an AS, to select an exit point.

To configure the local preference of a BGP path, you can do one of the following:

Use the bgp default local-preference command to set the local-preference attribute.
Use a route map to set the local-pref attribute.
