How to configure BGP Attribute Local Preference on Cisco routers?
BGP Local Preference Attribute
The local preference attribute is used to prefer an exit point from the local autonomous system (AS). Unlike the weight attribute, the local preference attribute is propagated throughout the local AS. If there are multiple exit points from the
AS, the local preference attribute is used to select the exit point for a specific route.
