Hi!

Can someone show me a working example how that works with iBGP?

I've tried with:

protocol bgp bgp4_1_2_3 { import filter { bgp_local_pref=150; accept; }; etc.... };

without any success with 'show route': bird> show route 10.20.30.0/24 via 1.2.3.4 on igb1 [bgp4_1_2_3] 16:28 from 1.2.3.5] * (100/5) [i]

Hello Some points: 1) this should work as a way to change LOCAL_PREF 2) LOCAL_PREF is not shown in 'show route'. Use 'show route all' to show LOCAL_PREF value. (100/5) values are different metrics - 100 is 'preference' (BIRD specific and BGP unrelated metric) and 5 is IGP metric to the 3) bgp4_1_2_3 is iBGP? In that case you should not change LOCAL_PREF (and most other BGP attributes) there. LOCAL_PREF is usually set on import from eBGP. It is generally a bad idea to change route attributes on iBGP links as that may easily lead to routing loops or oscillations. -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'SanTiago' Zajicek (email: santiago@crfreenet.org) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
