Route Preferences Configuration
Use the Route Preferences Configuration page to configure the default preference for each protocol. These
values are arbitrary values that range from 1 to 255, and are independent of route metrics. Most routing
protocols use a route metric to determine the shortest path known to the protocol, independent of any other
protocol. Routes with a preference of 255 are not used for forwarding.
The best route to a destination is chosen by selecting the route with the lowest preference value. When there
are multiple routes to a destination, the preference values are used to determine the preferred route.
To display the page, click LAN > L3 Features > Router > Route Preferences Configuration in the navigation tree.
