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 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 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 recursive-bgp-next-hop

Enable next-hop resolution through other routes learned by BGP.
