BGP MED Configuration Problem ?

[Cormac Champion]

I'm looking to add a MED to BGP of a secondary router in one site, but I'm having problems with it.

Router(config-router)#route-map MED permit 10

Router(config-router-map)#set weight 100

Router(config)#router bgp 65000

Router(config-router)#neighbor xx.xx.xx.xx route-map MED out
% "MED" used as BGP outbound route-map, set weight not supported

What have I done wrong here please ?

Hi, 

Try with below command under the routemap

set metric 100

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ip/border-gateway-protocol-bgp/13759-37.html

If you are trying to apply the weight than this value is only locally significant on the router and the information is not passed between neighbors

. I tried in the lab that It is only accepting the weight value with "IN" keyboard.

second option easy way 

R1(config)# route-map MED
R1(config-route-map)# set metric 500
!
R2(config)# route-map MED
R2(config-route-map)# set metric 100
!
R1(config)# router bgp 1
R1(config-router)# neighbor x.x.x.x route-map MED out
!
R2(config)# router bgp 1
R2(config-router)# neighbor x.x.x.x route-map MED out
