The local preference is the first attribute used to compare BGP routes.
Setting the local preference can influence which route BGP selects as the best
route. When used in conjunction with a match as-path or match ip-address
command, this command can be used to prefer routes that transit certain ASs
or to make the local router a more preferred exit point to certain destinations.
