BGP MED Explained: Deterministic MED vs Always Compare MED | Cisco Lab

Learn BGP MED (Multi-Exit Discriminator) through a practical Cisco routing lab. Compare deterministic MED and always-compare-med while examining BGP best-path selection with two ISPs and multiple routes. In this lab: • Follow the ISP-A, ISP-B, R1 and R2 topology. • Inspect BGP routes, metric values and the selected best path. • Explore bgp deterministic-med and bgp always-compare-med. • Adjust a route-map metric and observe the routing output. Key commands shown include: show ip bgp bgp deterministic-med bgp always-compare-med Use the topology and command output together to follow how the route choices change. Practice configuration changes in your own lab before using them on a production network. #BGP #Cisco #NetworkEngineering
