not belong to the confederation, BGP does not compare it with other routes. As a result, the first route
becomes the optimal route.
To enable MED comparison for routes from confederation peers (IPv4):
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.

2. Enter BGP view or BGP-VPN
instance view.
• Enter BGP view:

• Enter BGP-VPN instance view:
a. bgp as-number
b. ip vpn-instance

N/A
3. Enter BGP IPv4 unicast
address family view or

address family view.

To enable MED comparison for routes from confederation peers (IPv6):

Configuring the NEXT_HOP attribute
By default, a BGP router does not set itself as the next hop for routes advertised to an IBGP peer or peer
group. In some cases, however, you must configure the advertising router as the next hop to make sure
the BGP peer can find the correct next hop.
For example, as shown in Figure 57, R
outer A and Router B establish an EBGP neighbor relationship, and
Router B and Router C establish an IBGP neighbor relationship. If Router C has no route destined for IP
address 1.1.1.1/24, you must configure Router B to set itself 3.1.1.1/24 as the next hop for the network
2.1.1.1 / 24 a d ve r t i s e d t o R o u t e r C .
