Quick question on local pref in ibgp

[carl_townshend]

Hi all

a quick question, when you use local peer in bgp, if I set it it inbound on routes from my ebgp neighbour, the local router will use these routes.

are this local pref sent to my other ibgp routers by default? Or will I need to apply it outbound to my ibgp neighbours ?

Local preference will be automatically sent to other IBGP peers.
