Since we use BGP as peering to our ISPs, and don't use BGP internally in our
core, I haven't used MED or local_pref much. However, we have two routers
connected to another ASN (not via the internet) and I'm trying to influence
their return path since we are getting asynchronous routing. I'm trying to use
MED to advertise a lower preference out our second router but it doesn't seem
to be working. Any suggestions?
Here is the config...
router bgp 14607
...
neighbor 10.151.0.82 remote-as 26585
neighbor 10.151.0.82 distribute-list bgp_distribute_cap in
neighbor 10.151.0.82 distribute-list bgp_distribute_core_plus_ecn out
neighbor 10.151.0.82 route-map setMED-LOW out
neighbor 10.151.0.82 filter-list 10 out
route-map setMED-LOW permit 10
match ip address routemap_ecn
set metric 200
ip access-list standard routemap_ecn
permit 129.77.44.0
I've done the "clear ip bgp * soft" and have verified that the other side has
seen the change (previously I had a block all access list on the distribute out
so I know that the change has taken effect).
rtr-feed2#show ip bgp 129.77.44.0

Both outputs show a metric of 0. Any ideas?
