Release Information

Statement introduced before JUNOS Release 7.4.

Description

Modify the value of the LOCAL_PREF path attribute, which is a metric used by internal BGP sessions to indicate the degree of preference for an external route. The route with the highest local preference value is preferred.

The LOCAL_PREF path attribute always is advertised to internal BGP peers and to neighboring confederations. It is never advertised to external BGP peers.

Default

If you omit this statement, the LOCAL_PREF path attribute, if present, is not modified.

Options

local-preference—Preference to assign to routes learned from BGP or from the group or peer.
