are imported into OSPF. See “AS External Routes (AS Boundary
Routers Only)” on page 275. ASE routes are imported into OSPF
with a default preference of 150.
• In an import statement in the Control class of the
/etc/gated.conf file. This preference definition overrides any
preference defined in the defaults section of the OSPF protocol
configuration. See “AS External Routes (AS Boundary Routers Only)”
on page 275 and “Importing and Exporting Routes” on page 292.
