Description
Disables BGP from comparing Multi Exit Discriminators (MEDs) for paths from neighbors in different
Autonomous Systems (AS).
Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or variables.
Default
ExtremeWare XOS does not compare MEDs for paths from neighbors in different AS.
Usage Guidelines
The MED is one of the parameters that is considered when selecting the best path among many
alternative paths. The path with a lower MED is preferred over a path with a higher MED. By default,
during the best path selection process, MED comparison is done only among paths from the same AS.
