Which of the following statements are true about the Local_Pref attribute in BGP?

A is false – The default value of Local_Pref is 100 , not 0.

B is false – Local_Pref is not advertised to EBGP peers , it is only sent to IBGP peers .

C is correct – The Local_Pref value stays constant unless modified by a route-policy or filter.

D is correct – Higher Local_Pref values indicate preferred paths , so BGP prefers the path with the highest Local_Pref among multiple options.

Reference from Huawei HCIP-Datacom-Core Technology Study Guide:

“Local_Pref is used to select the best outbound path for traffic leaving the AS. It is only shared among IBGP peers and defaults to 100. The higher the value, the more preferred the route.”
