Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

After the peer preferred-value command is run, all the routes learned from the specified peer have the preferred value. If there are multiple routes to the same address prefix, the route with the highest preferred value is preferred.

Prerequisites

A BGP peer has been configured. If the peer preferred-value command is used but no BGP peer exists, a message is displayed, indicating that the peer does not exist.

Configuration Impact

If a preferred value is set for the routes that a BGP device learns from a peer group, all members of the peer group inherit the configuration.

Example

# Set a preferred value to 50 for the routes that a BGP device learns from a specified peer.
<HUAWEI> system-view
[~HUAWEI] bgp 100
[*HUAWEI-bgp] peer 10.2.2.2 as-number 200
[*HUAWEI-bgp] ipv4-family vpn-target
[*HUAWEI-bgp-af-vpn-target] peer 10.2.2.2 enable
[*HUAWEI-bgp-af-vpn-target] peer 10.2.2.2 preferred-value 50
