BGP metric attribute

[yuchenglai]

All,

Just wondering if anyone knows if the value of the Med attribute can be made to increment as it floats around in an AS from one iBGP neighbor to another.

Hi,

yes, you can set the MED value when advertising a  prefix to an iBGP neighbor.

See

or

for an example.

HTH,
