Route Preferences


Preferences choose between equivalent routes from different sources. The route corresponding to the source with the lowest preference number is the one which is installed in the forwarding table at this node.

Unless your network has multiple routes to the same destination, and there is a policy reason to choose one route over another, the defaults should be used.

Use the Routing Preferences View to specify preference values for protocols, static routes, and aggregated static routes. To set preference values:

    1. Click the Route Preferences link in the Routing Configuration section of the Config Tool main menu.
    The Routing Preferences View is presented. The following figure shows an example of the Routing Preferences View.

    2. Type a new preference value in the appropriate text box(es).
    3. Click either the Apply button to use these parameters
    or
    Click the Top button to disregard these parameters and return to the previous view.

    The Apply successful message appears if no errors occur.
