Study Guide mentions "Route maps provide advanced features that can modify BGP attributes and provides more granularity than access and prefix lists."

It's done with "set set-metric <value>" in the route map rule as per https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-Influencing-BGP-routes-using-Metric/ta-p/196950

In BGP, using a Route Map as an "Advertising Filter" allows you to control which routes are sent to a neighbor and, more importantly, how those routes appear to that neighbor.

When you use a route map for advertising, it performs two distinct functions:

Filtering: Deciding if a prefix should be sent (Permit or Deny).

Attribute Modification: Changing parameters like MED (Metric), AS-Path, or Communities to influence the neighbor's path selection.
