Additional BGP Configuration

set local preference 110

router bgp <AS number>

redistribute <source protocol> route-map REDISTRIBUTE

The following example configuration demonstrates the basic commands used to prefer the prefix learned

through BGP over a static route or a route learned through another routing protocol (local prefix):

route-map PREFER permit 10

match ip address prefix-list <name>

set local-preference 110

router bgp <AS number>

neighbor <ipv4 address>

route-map PREFER in

The redistribute command supports connected, OSPF, RIP, and static routes. These are all

considered locally originated routes to BGP.

Example 8 on page 52 further demonstrates the use of the above example configurations to

establish preferences for certain routes.
