Can we apply prefix-list+routemap combination here.? If the question
ask you to make both entries available in BGP table, but prefer one over
other.

Subject: Re: Hi,Please help me in a BGP attribute issue

 Please clarify; I don't understand why the network is originally
preferred
from IBGP because of the LP, the LP value is the default value (100), so
assuming that the LP is not changed inbound in the EBGP route on R2,
there
would be a tie right? the only attributes that could make the IBGP route
preferred would then be Origin or MED* (a show ip bgp <network> would
help).

 Also, if the network was preferred through R4 because of LP as Kayd
said,
then you would not be able to use AS-Path/MED to change the bestpath
selection because this attributes are not evaluated before LP. The
solution
then would be to filter that IBGP network or to make its next-hop
inaccessible (if not able to force weight or LP as stated in the
question).

Please correct me if I'm wrong, thanks!

*Note: Bestpath selection
Weight -> LP -> locally originated -> AS-Path -> Origin -> MED -> EBGP
over
IBGP -> closest IBGP peer -> older EBGP peer -> <Router ID
