peer preferred-value (BGP/BGP-VPN instance view)
Syntax
peer { group-name | ip-address } preferred-value value
undo peer { group-name | ip-address } preferred-value
View
BGP view, BGP-VPN instance view
Default level
2: System level
Parameters
group-name: Name of a peer group, a string of 1 to 47 characters.
ip-address: IP address of a peer.
value: Preferred value, in the range 0 to 65535.
Description
Use the peer preferred-value command to assign a preferred value to routes received from a peer or peer
group.
Use the undo peer preferred-value command to restore the default value.
The default preferred value is 0.
Routes learned from a peer have an initial preferred value. Among multiple routes that have the same
destination/mask and are learned from different peers, the one with the greatest preferred value is
selected as the route to the destination.
NOTE:
If you both reference a routing policy and use the peer {
group-name
|
ip-address
} preferred-value
v
alu
e
command to set a preferred value for routes from a peer, the routing policy sets a specified non-zero
preferred value for routes matching it. Other routes not matchin
g
the routin
g
policy uses the value set with
the command. If the preferred value specified in the routin
g
policy is zero, the routes matchin
g
it will also
use the value set with the command. For how to use a routing policy to set a preferred value, see the
command peer {
group-name
|
ip-address
} route-policy
route-policy-name
{ export | import } in this
chapter.
