Layer 3 Routing Commands
1229
Syntax
bgp default local-preference number
no bgp default local-preference
• number—The value to use as the local preference for routes advertised to
internal peers. The range is 0 to 4,294,967,295.
Default Configuration
If no other value is configured, BGP advertises a local preference of 100 in
UPDATE messages to internal peers.
Command Mode
BGP Router Configuration mode
User Guidelines
BGP assigns the default local preference to each path received from an
external peer. (BGP retains the LOCAL_PREF on paths received from
internal peers.) BGP also assigns the default local preference to locally-
originated paths. If you change the default local preference, the local
preference on paths previously received is not changed; it is only applied to
paths received after the change. To apply the new local preference to paths
previously received, use clear ip bgp to force a soft inbound reset.
Command History
Introduced in version 6.2.0.1 firmware.
Example
console(config-router)#bgp default local-preference 1
bgp fast-external-fallover
Use this command to configure BGP to immediately reset the adjacency with
an external peer if the routing interface to the peer goes down.
Syntax
