peer preferred-value (BGP/BGP-VPN instance view)
Syntax
peer { group-name | ip-address } preferred-value value
undo peer { group-name | ip-address } preferred-value
View
BGP view, BGP-VPN instance view
Default level
2: System level
Parameters
group-name: Name of a peer group, a string of 1 to 47 characters.
ip-address: IP address of a peer.
value: Preferred value, in the range of 0 to 65535.
Description
Use peer preferred-value to assign a preferred value to routes received from a peer or peer group.
Use undo peer preferred-value to restore the default value.
The default preferred value is 0.
Routes learned from a peer have an initial preferred value. Among multiple routes that have the same
destination/mask and are learned from different peers, the one with the greatest preferred value is
selected as the route to the destination.
