2: System level
Parameters
med-value: Specifies the default MED value, in the range of 0 to 4294967295.
Usage guidelines
Multi-exit discriminator (MED) is an external metric for routes. Different from local preference, MED is
exchanged between ASs and stays in the AS once it enters the AS. The route with a lower MED is
preferred. When a router running BGP obtains several routes with an identical destination but different
next-hops from various external peers, it selects the best route depending on the MED value. In the case
that all other conditions are the same, the system first selects the route with the smallest MED as the best
external route.
Examples
# In BGP view, configure the default MED as 25.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] bgp 100
[Sysname-bgp] default med 25
# In BGP-VPN instance view, configure the default MED as 25. (The VPN has been created.)
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] bgp 100
[Sysname-bgp] ipv4-family vpn-instance vpn1
[Sysname-bgp-ipv4-vpn1] default med 25
