Disables BGP from comparing Multi Exit Discriminators (MEDs) for paths from neighbors in different Autonomous Systems (AS).
This command has no arguments or variables.
ExtremeXOS does not compare MEDs for paths from neighbors in different AS.
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.
BGP must be disabled before you can change the configuration with this command.
The following command disables MED from being used in comparison among paths from different AS:
disable bgp always-compare-med
