In the IP environment, RIP bases routing on a hop count. RIP only supports routes that
have 0 to 15 hops. You can configure the SSR to adjust hop counts. Doing so lets you
control which routes the SSR prefers to use to send or receive data when it is
communicating with another RIP router.

What Is Preference?
Preference is the value the SSR uses to determine the preference of routes from one
protocol or peer over another. You can set preference based on one network interface over
another, from one protocol over another, or from one remote gateway over another. A
default preference is assigned to each source from which the SSR receives routes.
Preference values range from 0 to 255 with the lowest number indicating the most
preferred route.

Preference may be used to select routes from an Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP), such as
the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), learned from different peers or autonomous systems.

As shown in the following table you can set preference in several places. The table
identifies each item on which you can set preference and identifies the default preference
value of each item. For details on setting the preference of static routes, see
