Configure IP Route Preferences

Change IP route preferences to force the routing protocols to prefer a route over another. Configure IP route preferences to override default route preferences and give preference to routes learned for a specific protocol.

Before you begin

Disable ECMP before you configure route preferences.
To perform this procedure on a non-default VRF, you must first change the VRF instance. For information about how to use EDM for a non-default VRF, see Select and Launch a VRF Context View. All parameters might not be available in non-default VRFs.
