ONFIGURATION
Use the Route Preferences Configuration page to configure the default preference for each protocol. These values are
arbitrary values that range from 1 to 255, and are independent of route metrics. Most routing protocols use a route metric to
determine the shortest path known to the protocol, independent of any other protocol. Routes with a preference of 255 are
not used for forwarding.
The best route to a destination is chosen by selecting the route with the lowest preference value. When there are multiple
routes to a destination, the preference values are used to determine the preferred route.
