MED value is zero.
Usage
Use this command to specify two MED attributes--confed and missing-as-worst. The confed attribute enables
MED comparison among paths learned from confederation peers. The MEDs are compared only if there is no
external autonomous system (an AS not within the confederation) in the path. If there is an external
autonomous system in the path, the MED comparison is not made.
The missing-as-worst attribute to consider a missing MED attribute in a path as having a value of infinity,
making the path without a MED value the least desirable path. If missing-as-worst is disabled, the missing
MED is assigned the value of 0, making the path with the missing MED attribute the best path.
