Configuring IP route preferences

Before you begin

Disable ECMP before you configure route preferences.

About this task

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.

Important

Changing route preferences is a process-oriented operation that can affect system performance and network reachability while you perform the procedures. Therefore, if you want to change default preferences for routing protocols, you do so before you enable the protocols.

Procedure

In the navigation tree, expand the following folders: Configuration > IP.
Click IP.
Click the RoutePref tab.
In the ConfiguredValue column, change the preference for the given protocol.
Click Apply.
