In this diagram if you have access to the other AS (R2 and R3) why not set local preference anyways? If you don't have access you cannot apply BGP-always-compare-MED command and MED will be useless, the traffic is still going to prefer the shortest AS-Path.
I was thinking the same thing. He said earlier we didn't have access to AS-600 but for configuring MED we are configuring it on AS-600. I guess best alternative is to use AS path prepend in case we do not have access to the other AS router.
Need Your reply Pl. If my AS-1 has Router R01 is connected to AS2 Router 02 and AS3 Router R03 ( multi Home ). I want to exit My As via AS2 and Incoming traffic from AS3. Both Has Same 1Gbps Links. ( I Can control the outgoing traffic by Local Pre/Weight On for AS2 but how can i get incoming via AS3 ?
what is the point of defining MED when you anyways need to access routers in AS 600? You stated MED can be used if we dont have access other AS routers. Here even after defining MED, we still need to apply bgp-always-compare-MED.
OUR AS 500 there no control in AS 600 configuration Then R2 and R3 belong to 600 you are adding " bgp-alwalys-compare-med". then with touching who it can be done.

... because he wanted us to learn and Lab MED. He is teaching us for free. Lets appreciate.
Awesome. Thankyou Sikandar sir. Learnt a lot from your videos.

But what if we dont have access to AS 600 to configure bgp always-comapre-med
Great videos, thank you, Sikandar.
Sir we don't have access to the R2 and R3 then how will we apply the command like #bgp always compare med

you mention about the command to ignore AS path but u didn't illustrate. Great presentation. thank you
The as path prepend explanation needs to be corrected. You keep saying prepend 600 on as 500. This leads to confusion for new guys
Thank you, very helpful videos

AS path prepend all the way...
Thank you
Thank you
