enable bgp always-compare-med
Description
Enables BGP to use the Multi Exit Discriminator (MED) from neighbors in different autonomous
systems (ASs) in the route selection algorithm.
Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or variables.
Default
Disabled.
Usage Guidelines
MED is only used when comparing paths from the same AS, unless always-compare-med is enabled.
When this command is issued, MEDs from different AS are used in comparing paths. A MED value of
zero is treated as the lowest MED and therefore the most preferred route.
Example
The following command enables BGP to use the Multi Exit Discriminator (MED) from neighbors in
different autonomous systems in the route selection algorithm:
