You could use a route map along with the neighbour command to set the local preferance.The configuration should be similar to that below.
RTD# router bgp 256 neighbor 3.3.3.4 remote-as 300 neighbor 3.3.3.4 route-map setlocalin in ... ip as-path access-list 7 permit ^300$ .. route-map setlocalin permit 10 match as-path 7 set local-preference 400 route-map setlocalin permit 20 set local-preference 150 "Hunt Lee" wrote: Can a default route (0/0) learned from another AS be assigned a BGP Local_Preference? My understanding is that a default route can be assigned an "Admin Dist" to setup a preference between multiple default routes, but not by Local_Pref. I tried to look on Internet Routing Arch (by Halabi) but Halabi seems to say that Local_Pref works also... Any ideas? >From Halabi on p229:- "The default route AS2 is learning from AS3 should not need to be set at a lower Local_Pref than the full routing AS2 learns from the provider" Thanks, Hunt Get Your Private, Free E-mail from Indiatimes at http://email.indiatimes.com Buy Music, Video, CD-ROM, Audio-Books and Music Accessories from http://www.planetm.co.in Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=40154&t=40144 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
