Enabling MED comparison for routes from confederation peers
This task enables BGP to compare the MEDs of routes received from confederation peers. However,
if a route received from a confederation peer has an AS number that does not belong to the
confederation, BGP does not compare the route with other routes. For example, a confederation has
three AS numbers 65006, 65007, and 65009. BGP receives three routes from different confederation
peers. The AS_PATH attributes of these routes are 65006 65009, 65007 65009, and 65008 65009,
and the MED values of them are 2, 3, and 1. Because the third route's AS_PATH attribute contains
AS number 65008 that does not belong to the confederation, BGP does not compare it with other
routes. As a result, the first route becomes the optimal route.

Configuring the NEXT_HOP attribute

By default, a BGP router does not set itself as the next hop for routes advertised to an IBGP peer or
peer group. In some cases, however, you must configure the advertising router as the next hop to
ensure that the BGP peer can find the correct next hop.
