To compare MED values on the exchange of path information between Confederation
Peers, use the following command.

Router
Configures the router to consider the MED in choosing
a path from among the paths on the exchange of in-
formation between confederation peers.

mation between confederation peers.
If there are several equal paths, one of them has no MED value. Because this path is
considered as “zero” without MED value, it will be chosen the best path. But the path
would be the worst one if it has no MED value after missing-as-worst is set.

After missing-as-worst parameter is configured in the system, the path will be recog-
nized as the worst path without MED value.

10.1.2.5 Graceful
Restart
Graceful restart allows a router undergoing a restart to inform its adjacent neighbors and
peers of its condition. The restarting router requests a grace period from the neighbor or
peer, which can then cooperate with the restarting router. With a graceful restart, the re-
starting router can still forward traffic during the restart period, and convergence in the
network is not disrupted. The restart is not visible to the rest of the network, and the re-
starting router is not removed from the network topology.

The main benefits of graceful restart are uninterrupted packet forwarding and temporary
suppression of all routing protocol updates. Graceful restart thus allows a router to ex-
change path information with the neighboring router.

To configure graceful restart specifically for BGP, use the following command.
Command Mode
Description
bgp graceful-restart
Sets to use graceful restart in BGP protocol.
no bgp graceful-restart
Router
Disables the restart time value setting.
Therefore, 2 options of the time can be used to speed up routing convergence by its peer
