[Xorp-users] Local-preference

[Atanu Ghosh]

Hi,

You can use the to clause to select a neighbour:

policy {
    policy-statement localpref {
	term localpref {
	   to {
		neighbour: 10.0.0.1
	   }
	   then {
		localpref: 120
	   }
	}
    }
}

To apply this policy to BGP:

protocols {
    bgp {
	export: "localpref"
...

There is currently no way to discover the local-pref value that was
associated with an incoming route.

One way of verifying that the policy has been correctly applied is to
trace all the outgoing update messages.

protocol {
    bgp {
	traceoptions {
	    flag {
		message-out
	    }
	}
...

      Atanu.
