Parameter

Optional. Specifies a VRF name. The value is a string. It’s a user-defined VRF set by the command set ip vrf <vrf-name> [description <string>].


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.
