bgp non-deterministic-med
Compare MEDs of paths from different autonomous systems.
Syntax
bgp non-deterministic-med
To return to the default, use the no bgp non-deterministic-med command.
Defaults Disabled (that is, paths/routes for the same destination but from different ASs do not have their MEDs
compared).

Usage
Information
In Non-Deterministic mode, paths are compared in the order in which they arrive. This method can lead
to Dell EMC Networking OS choosing different best paths from a set of paths, depending on the order
in which they are received from the neighbors because MED may or may not get compared between
adjacent paths. In Deterministic mode (no bgp non-deterministic-med), Dell EMC Networking OS
compares MED between adjacent paths within an AS group because all paths in the AS group are from
the same AS.
When you change the path selection from Deterministic to Non-Deterministic, the path selection for
the existing paths remains Deterministic until you enter the clear ip bgp command to clear existing
paths.
bgp outbound-optimization
Enables outbound optimization for IBGP peer-group members.
Syntax
bgp outbound-optimization
To disable outbound optimization, enter the no bgp outbound-optimization command.
