Usage
Information
The bestpath router bgp configuration mode command changes the default bestpath
selection algorithm. The multipath-relax option allows load-sharing across providers with different
(but equal-length) autonomous system paths. Without this option, ECMP expects the AS paths to be
identical for load-sharing.
bgp bestpath med confed
Enable MULTI_EXIT_DISC (MED) attribute comparison on paths learned from BGP confederations.
Syntax
bgp bestpath med confed
To disable MED comparison on BGP confederation paths, enter the no bgp bestpath med confed
command.
Defaults Disabled
