bgp non-deterministic-med
Compare MEDs of paths from different autonomous systems.
Syntax
bgp non-deterministic-med
To return to the default, use the no bgp non-deterministic-med command.
Defaults Disabled (that is, paths/routes for the same destination but from different ASs do not
have their MEDs compared).
Command Modes ROUTER BGP

Usage Information
In Non-Deterministic mode, paths are compared in the order in which they arrive. This
method can lead to Dell Networking OS choosing different best paths from a set of
paths, depending on the order in which they are received from the neighbors because
MED may or may not get compared between adjacent paths. In Deterministic mode (no
bgp non-deterministic-med), Dell Networking OS compares MED between
adjacent paths within an AS group because all paths in the AS group are from the same
AS.
When you change the path selection from Deterministic to Non-Deterministic, the path
selection for the existing paths remains Deterministic until you enter the clear ip
bgp
command to clear existing paths.
