8 BGP Configuration
Remarks
If the bestroute med-none-as-
maximum command is configured,
BGP considers the largest MED value
(4294967295) as the MED of the route
that does not carry an MED.
For details about MED usage, see
MED.
-
If the bestroute igp-metric-ignore
command is configured, BGP does not
compare the IGP cost.
By default, Cluster_List takes
precedence over Originator_ID during
BGP route selection. To enable
Originator_ID to take precedence over
Cluster_List during BGP route
selection, run the bestroute routerid-
prior-clusterlist command.
If routes carry the Originator_ID, the
originator ID is substituted for the
router ID during route selection. The
route with the smallest Originator_ID
is preferred.
