set local-preference


Sets the preference value for the autonomous system path.

Syntax: set local-preference value

no set local-preference

value

Preference value. Valid values are integers from 0 to 4294967295.

Description: Use the set local-preference command to assign a local preference to a BGP route.

Use the no set local-preference command to delete the entry in the route map.

To assign a preference to a route learned by OSPF or BGP you configure an accept policy for the route. If an incoming route matches the policy, the preference value you specify is assigned to the route.

You can override route preferences defined by set local-preference using the set weight command. To assign a greater or lesser preference to a static route, supply a value when you define the router.

Route maps consist of sets of match and set commands. Match commands define the match criteria for route maps. Routes that match the match criteria are processed according to the actions defined by the set commands. Routes that do not match at least one of the match criteria in the route map are ignored.

Use the route-map command to create a route map. Use the various match and set commands to define the conditions for redistributing routes between protocols or instances of the same protocol.

Local preference is a value is used to indicate preference given to a particular route when there is more than one route to the same destination. A higher local preference indicates that a route is more preferred. Local preference is local to this autonomous system and is exchanged only with IBGP peers.

Factory Default: Preference value of 100.

Command Mode: Route map configuration.

Example: In the following example:

router(config)#ip as-path access-list ISP2_Permit411 permit _411_

router(config)#ip as-path access-list ISP2_Permit411 deny any

router(config)#route-map setpref permit 10

router(config-route-map)#match as-path ISP2_Permit411

router(config-route-map)#set local preference 100

router(config-route-map)#end

router(config)#
