hi,

in my bgp-table i have two paths to the defaultroute:

BGP routing table entry for 65052:420:0.0.0.0/0, version 4803

Paths: (2 available, best #2, table vkb)

Not advertised to any peer

Local

172.16.24.2 (metric 98) from 172.16.24.2 (172.16.24.62)

Origin incomplete, metric 755968, localpref 100, valid, internal

Extended Community: RT:65052:420 0x8800:0:8212 0x8801:100:131072 0x8802:65283:624896 0x8803:65281:1500 0x8804:0:2886794964 0x8805:3:0,

Local

172.16.24.1 (metric 99) from 172.16.24.1 (172.16.24.61)

Origin incomplete, metric 755712, localpref 100, valid, internal, best

Extended Community: RT:65052:420 0x8800:0:8211 0x8801:100:130816 0x8802:65282:624896 0x8803:65299:1500 0x8804:0:2886794963 0x8805:3:0,

mpls labels in/out nolabel/1410

why is the way to 172.16.24.1 selected although the igp-metric to 172.16.24.2 is 98 and to 172.16.24.1 it is 99 !

so the way to 172.16.24.2 is better (98).

i do a redistribution from eigrp to the mpls backbone

thx for answer

Hello,

The MED for the preferred route is lower than the other. MED is considered before the IGP cost to the advertising router.
