Command Manual – IPv6 Routing
H3C S7500E Series Ethernet Switches
Chapter 5 IPv6 BGP Configuration Commands
5-7
Description
Use the
default med
command to specify the default MED value.
Use the
undo default med
command to restore the default.
By default, the default
med-value
is 0.
The multi-exit discriminator (MED) is an external metric of a route. Different from local
preference, MED is exchanged between ASs and will stay in the AS once it enters the
AS. The route with a lower MED is preferred. When a router running BGP obtains
several routes with the identical destination and different next-hops from various
external peers, it will select the best route depending on the MED value. In the case that
all other conditions are the same, the system first selects the route with the smaller
MED value as the best route for the autonomous system.
Examples
# Devices A and B belong to AS100 and device C belongs to AS200. C is the peer of A
and B. Configure the MED of A as 25 to make C select the path from B.
