[isp-bgp] Re: BGP metric weight issue

["William R. Charnock" <will@...]

Try using a route-map to adjust the MED's and localprefs as you want them:

!
route-map set-weight-lpref permit 10
    set local-preference 100
    set metric 100
!

Then apply this as an inbound route-map to your bgp neighbors... Note that
localpref is an all or nothing proposition (if you localpref one providers
routes higher than anothers, their routes will be preferred).  In your case,
you might just need to change the metric to accomplish what you're trying to
do (without messing with localpref)
