Router mode
Usage
When comparing similar routes from peers the BGP router does not consider router ID of the routes. By
default, it selects the first received route. Use this command to include router ID in the selection process;
similar routes are compared and the route with lowest router ID is selected. The router-id is the highest IP
address on the router, with preference given to loopback addresses. Router-id can be manually set by using
the bgp router-id command.
Examples
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config) router bgp 100
Switch(config-router) bgp bestpath compare-routerid

Default
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,
