The multi-exit discriminator (MED) is the external metric of a route. It is different
AS from the local preference attribute. MED is switched between ASs and the MED
that has entered the AS does not leave the AS. AS uses local attributes for its own
out-site selection processing while MED attribute is used to select the best route.
The route with smallest MED value is selected. When a router running BGP gets
routes with the same destination address but a different next hop through
different external peers, it makes a preference selection based on the MED values.
To operate the MED attribute, an access control list is used to indicate what
network will be operated.
Perform the following configurations in BGP view.
Table 522 Configure the BGP MED Metric
Operation
Configure MED for an AS
Restore the default MED of an AS
This command is used to compare MED values from different AS neighboring
routes and to select the best route. The route with smaller MED value is selected.
Perform the following configurations in BGP view.
