set ipv6 next-hop (BGP)
To set the IPv6 next hop of a route, use the set ipv6 next-hop command in Route Map Configuration
mode. When used in a route map applied to UPDATE messages received from a neighbor, the command
sets the next hop address for matching IPv6 routes received from the neighbor.
When used in a route map applied to UPDATE messages sent to a neighbor, the command sets the next
hop address for matching IPv6 routes sent to the neighbor. If the address is a link local address, the
address is assumed to be on the interface where the UPDATE is sent or received. If the command
specifies a global IPv6 address, the address is not required to be on a local subnet.

To set the local preference of specific BGP routes, use the set local-preference command in
Route Map Configuration mode. 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.
