Using A Route Map To Set The Local Preference; Understanding The Origin Attribute - Juniper BGP - CONFIGURATION GUIDE V 11.1.X Configuration Manual

Using a Route Map to Set the Local Preference

When you use a route map to set the local preference you have more flexibility in
selecting routes for which you can set a local preference based on many criteria,
including AS. In the previous section, all updates received by router SanJose were
set to a local preference of 200.
Using a route map, you can specifically assign a local preference for routes from AS
17 that pass through AS 293.
The following commands configure router SanJose.
Router SanJose sets the local-pref attributes to 200 for routes originating in AS 293
and passing last through AS 17. All other routes are accepted (as defined in instance
20 of the route map 10), but their local preference remains at the default value of
100, indicating a less-preferred path.

Understanding the Origin Attribute

BGP uses the origin attribute to describe how a route was learned at the origin the
point where the route was injected into BGP. The origin of the route can be one of
three values:
To force BGP to run the decision process on routes already received, you must
use the clear ip bgp command to perform an inbound soft clear or hard clear
of the current BGP session.
Use the no version to restore the default value, 100.
See bgp default local-preference.

IGP Indicates that the route was learned by means of an IGP and, therefore, is
internal to the originating AS. All routes advertised by the network command
have an origin of IGP.
EGP Indicates that the route was learned by means of an EGP.
Incomplete Indicates that the origin of the route is unknown that is, learned
from something other than IGP or EGP. All routes advertised by the redistribute
command such as static routes have an origin of Incomplete. An origin of
Incomplete occurs when a route is redistributed into BGP.
