command in EXEC Privilege mode.

Changing the LOCAL_PREFERENCE Attribute
In Dell EMC Networking OS, you can change the value of the LOCAL_PREFERENCE attribute, so that the preferred path can be changed.
To change the default values of this attribute for all routes received by the router, use the following command.
• Change the LOCAL_PREF value.
CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode
bgp default local-preference value
value: the range is from 0 to 4294967295. The default is 100.
Example conguration of changing the LOCAL_PREFERENCE attribute
DellEMC# configure terminal
DellEMC(conf)# router bgp 400
DellEMC(conf_router_bgp)# neighbor 10.10.10.1 remote-as 500
DellEMC(conf_router_bgp)# bgp default local-preference 150
DellEMC(conf_router_bgp)# exit
In the above example conguration, the default LOCAL_PREFERENCE value is changed to 150 for all the updates from AS 500 to AS 400.
The default value is 100.
To view the BGP conguration, use the show config command in CONFIGURATION ROUTER BGP mode or the show running-
config bgp command in EXEC Privilege mode.
