Usage
Multi Exit Discriminator (MED) is used in best path selection by BGP. MED is compared after BGP attributes
weight, local preference, AS-path and origin have been compared and are equal.
MED comparison is done only among paths from the same autonomous system (AS). Use bgp
always-comparemed command to allow comparison of MEDs from different ASs. The MED parameter is used
to select the best path. A path with lower MED is preferred.
Examples
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# router bgp 100
