Usage Guidelines
- MED is one of the parameters that is considered when selecting the best path among many alternative paths. The path with a lower MED is preferred over a path with a higher MED.
- During the best-path selection process, MED comparison is done only among paths from the same autonomous system. Use the command bgp always-compare-med to change this behavior by enforcing MED comparison between all paths, regardless of the autonomous system from which the paths are received.
Example
• This example enables comparison of the Multi Exit Discriminator (MED) for paths from neighbors in different autonomous systems.
