156 SmartSwitch Router User Reference Manual
Routers SSR4 and SSR6 inform router C1 about network 172.16.200.0/24 through External

announces the route with a MED of 20. Of the two EBGP routes, router C1 chooses the one
with a smaller MED. Thus router C1 prefers the route from router SSR6, which has a MED
of 10.

Figure 16 shows a simple EBGP configuration in which one peer is exporting an
