Configure a shortcut route 

network ip-address [ mask | mask-length ] 
short-cut 

Optional 

By default, an 
eBGP route 
received has a 
priority of 255. 

 

BGP connections have been created. 

By default, routes received from a peer have a preferred value of 0. Among multiple routes that have the 

same destination/mask and are learned from different peers, the one with the greatest preferred value 

is selected as the route to the destination.  

Follow these steps to specify a preferred value for routes from a peer or peer group: 

Enter system view 

— 

Enter BGP view 

bgp as-number 

— 

Specify a preferred value for 
routes received from a peer or 
peer group 

peer { group-name | ip-address } 
preferred-value value 

Optional 

The preferred value is 0 
by default. 

 

A router may run multiple routing protocols, each of which has a preference specified. If they find the 

same route, the route found by the routing protocol with the highest preference is selected. 

This task allows you configure preferences for external, internal, local BGP routes and reference a route 

policy to set preferences for matching routes as needed. 

Follow these steps to configure preferences for BGP routes: 

Enter system view 

— 

Enter BGP view 

bgp as-number 

— 

Configure preferences for external, 
internal, local BGP routes 

preference 
{ external-preference 
internal-preference 
local-preference | 
route-policy 
route-policy-name } 

Optional 

The default preferences 
of external, internal, and 
local BGP routes are 255, 
255, and 130 
respectively.
