Configuring the default local preference The local preference is used to determine the best route for traffic leaving the local AS. When a BGP router obtains from several IBGP peers multiple routes to the same destination, but with different next hops, it considers the route with the highest local preference as the best route. This task allows you to specify the default local preference for routes sent to IBGP peers. To specify the default local preference (IPv4): Step 1. Enter system view.
