To control route selection among MBGP and other routing protocols, set the MBGP preference.

Perform the following steps on the router that is configured as an MBGP peer:

Run system-view

Run bgp as-number
The BGP view is displayed.
Run ipv4-family multicast
The BGP-IPv4 multicast address family view is displayed.
Run preference { external-preference internal-preference local-preference | route-policy route-policy-name | route-filter route-filter-name }
MBGP preferences are set for internal, external, and local routes.
- external-preference: specifies the preference for routes learned from EBGP peers.
- internal-preference: specifies the preference for routes learned from IBGP peers.
