How Junos OS Determines Route Preference

Juniper devices route traffic through a network in different ways. The Juniper OS uses a variety of information for that traffic flow. Here's a quick explanation of how the Juniper OS makes those routing decisions.

The Juniper OS uses information from both its routing table as well as its configuration file to determine active routes. Though it may know of many different routes it can use, it always prefers active routes.

Active routes are chosen based on a score. Typically, Juniper devices prefer the active route with the lowest possible score. Routes are ranked with a value from a range of 0 through 4,294,967,295 (232 – 1). These values are set through a variety of things like different protocols, interfaces, or remote systems.

The Junos OS also provides support for tiebreaker preferences as well. Things like BGP and label switching help determine these preferences. These can also be used to define route preference, too.
