Layer 3 Routing Commands
1225
Default Configuration
By default, all routes aggregated by a given aggregate address must have the
same MED value.
Command Mode
• BGP Router Configuration mode
• IPv6 Address Family Configuration mode
User Guidelines
The MED is a 32-bit integer, commonly set by an external peer to indicate
the internal distance to a destination. The decision process compares MED
values to prefer paths that have a shorter internal distance. Since different
autonomous systems may use different internal distance metrics or have
different policies for setting the MED, the decision process normally does not
compare MED values in paths received from peers in different autonomous
systems. This command allows you to force BGP to compare MEDs regardless
of if paths are received from a common AS.
Command History
Introduced in version 6.2.0.1 firmware.
Example
console(config-router)#bgp always-compare-med
bgp client-to-client reflection (BGP Router
Configuration)
Use the bgp client-to-client reflection command to enable client-to-client
reflection. By default, a route reflector reflects routes received from its clients
to its other clients. However, if a route reflector’s clients have a full iBGP
mesh, the route reflector does not reflect to the clients.
Syntax
bgp client-to-client reflection
no bgp client-to-client reflection
