| Jun 4, 2013 at 20:15 | comment | added | Mike Pennington | @zevlag, I'm talking about Step 9 of Brocade's path selection process; thus it doesn't explicitly require you to set MED / local-pref if your IGP costs to the next hops are not the same between the POPs in question | |

| Jun 4, 2013 at 19:48 | comment | added | zevlag | I can easily set the MED/LocalPref on my side if needed, but I'd prefer not to. I really want to be getting MED from my transit provider. POP A is 500 miles from POP B, and I sit right in the middle, with a 10 GigE to both, this makes everything equal until I get down to Step 14: Prefer the route that comes from the lowest BGP4 neighbor address brocade.com/downloads/documents/html_product_manuals/… | |

| Jun 4, 2013 at 19:37 | comment | added | Mike Pennington | FYI for the OP, BGP automagically considers the IGP metric to the BGP next-hop as part of the path selection process, as long as the candidate BGP paths are tied... so MEDs / local-pref might not be required, if he can differentiate with IGP metrics | |
