<tag>path metric <m/switch/</tag> Enable comparison of path lengths
when deciding which BGP route is the best one. Default: on.
<tag>prefer older <m/switch/</tag> Standard route selection algorithm
breaks ties by comparing router IDs. This changes the behavior
to prefer older routes (when both are external and from different
peer). For details, see RFC 5004. Default: off.

is missing. Default: 0.
