What is snBgp4GenAlwaysCompareMed?

Turns on or off comparison of the BGP Multi-Exit Discriminator (MED) attribute when choosing between paths learned from neighbors in different autonomous systems. An admin would enable this to let MED influence best-path selection across AS boundaries (normally MED is only compared between paths from the same AS); set to enabled(1) to compare, disabled(0) to skip it.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.7.11.12.2.11.1.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> HP-SN-BGP4-GROUP-MIB::snBgp4GenAlwaysCompareMed

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.7.11.12.2.11.1.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> HP-SN-BGP4-GROUP-MIB::snBgp4GenAlwaysCompareMed.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.7.11.12.2.11.1.1.1 i <value>

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> snBgp4GenAlwaysCompareMed.1
