Users Guide

The summary-only parameter suppresses all advertisements. If you want to suppress advertisements to
only specific neighbors, use the neighbor distribute-list command.
In the show ip bgp command, aggregates contain an ‘a’ in the first column and routes suppressed by
the aggregate contain an ‘s’ in the first column.
When an aggregate address is denied using a peer's outbound route-map, individual routes suppressed
by the aggregate address are advertised to that peer.
The attribute-map corresponding to an aggregate address is applied during the outbound update
creation time; the value set in that attribute-map will not be shown in the output of the show ip bgp
aggregate route
command.

Allows you to enable comparison of the MULTI_EXIT_DISC (MED) attributes in the paths from different external ASs.
Syntax
bgp always-compare-med
To disable comparison of MED, enter no bgp always-compare-med.
Defaults Disabled (that is, the software only compares MEDs from neighbors within the same AS).
