Configuring a Default Local_Pref Attribute for a Device

The Local_Pref attribute is used to determine the optimal route for traffic that leaves an AS.

Context

If a BGP device obtains multiple routes from different IBGP peers and these routes have different next hops to the same destination, the BGP device will select the route with the greatest Local_Pref value.
