BGP Configuration Commands
Mode
Router configuration:
Default
Enabled
Example
The following example configures summarization in BGP process 100:
XSR(config)#router bgp 100
XSR(config-router)#auto-summary
bgp always-compare-med
This command instructs the XSR to compare the Multi Exit Discriminator (MED) value for paths
from neighbors in different ASs. MED is one of the parameters considered by the XSR when
selecting the best path. The path with the lowest MED value is chosen when all higher‐ranking
BGP route selection criteria are the same for all competing paths to the same destination.
Syntax
bgp always-compare-med
Syntax of the "no" Form
The no form of this command removes the MED value:
no bgp always-compare-med
Mode
Router configuration:
Default
The default value for this command is to only compare the MED values for paths from neighbors
in the same AS.

The following example sets MED within BGP process 100:
XSR(config)#router bgp 100
XSR(config-router)#bgp always-compare-med
