Set metric in BGP Protocol (R77.20)

Hi all,

I have a CP1450 (R77.20),

BGP Protocol in which is not configurable via Gaia Portal, only via Clish.

How to set metric value to BGP records in route table?

Command 'set routemap mybgp-in id 1 action metric value 50' does not affect,

in Guide says that this command applicable to RIP Protocol.

Is there a similar command for BGP Protocol?

Can you describe what you're trying to achieve?

If you want one routing protocol prefered over another look at "rank"

Syntax:

set protocol-rank protocol

bgp rank {<0-255> | default}

I am trying to prioritize between Static and BGP routes. The "Directly" routes always have a metric of "0" - that's fine. The "PPPoE" route has a metric of "101" - that's fine too. In "Static" routes, the metric can be specified manually from "0" to "100". It remains to understand how to influence the metric in the routes "BGP". Now the metric in BGP routes is always "0".
