becomes the optimal route in the BGP routing table. In this way, route learning sequence might affect
optimal route selection.
With the bestroute compare-med command configured, the router puts routes received from the same AS
into a group. The router then selects the route with the lowest MED from the same group, and compares
routes from different groups. This mechanism avoids the above-mentioned problem.
Examples
# In BGP IPv4 unicast address family view, enable MED comparison for routes on a per-AS basis.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] bgp 100
[Sysname-bgp] address-family ipv4 unicast
[Sysname-bgp-ipv4] bestroute compare-med
# In BGP-VPN IPv4 unicast address family view, enable MED comparison for routes on a per-AS basis.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] bgp 100
[Sysname-bgp] ip vpn-instance vpn1
[Sysname-bgp-vpn1] address-family ipv4 unicast
[Sysname-bgp-ipv4-vpn1] bestroute compare-med
# In BGP IPv6 unicast address family view, enable MED comparison for routes on a per-AS basis.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] bgp 100
[Sysname-bgp] address-family ipv6 unicast
[Sysname-bgp-ipv6] bestroute compare-med
bestroute med-confederation

Usage guidelines
This command enables BGP to compare the MEDs of routes received from confederation peers. However,
if a route received from a confederation peer has an AS number that does not belong to the
confederation, BGP does not compare the route with other routes. For example, a confederation has
three AS numbers 65006, 65007, and 65009. BGP receives three routes from different confederation
