Chapter 2 Advanced Routing for FortiOS 5.0 : Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) : BGP background and concepts : Parts and terminology of BGP : ORIGIN
  
ORIGIN
The ORIGIN attribute records where the route came from. The options can be IBGP, EBGP, or incomplete. This information is important because internal routes (IBGP) are by default higher priority than external routes (EBGP). However incomplete ORIGINs are the lowest priority of the three.
The commands related to ORIGIN include:
config router route-map
edit <route_map_name>
set comments <string>
config rule
edit <route_map_rule_id>
set match-origin {egp | igp | incomplete | none}
end
end
end
