The default preferred value is 0.
Controlling route advertisement and reception
Before configuring this task, configure basic MBGP functions first.
Configuring MBGP route redistribution
MBGP can advertise routing information in the local AS to neighboring ASs. It redistributes such routing
information from IGP into its routing table rather than learning the information by itself.
To configure MBGP route redistribution:
