<p>Supp,</p>
<p>thnqx for the reply,</p>
<p>The BGP i have figured out and i have confirmation from my host
they accept customer-set MEDs. Only i couldn't get these working
and i found 2 posts on the internet with a different configuration
and i don't know which one is the right one, "med metric 10;" or
"default bgp_med 10;" <br>
</p>
<p>Am i right that MED is the only option to influence the eBGP
and manipulate the prefered path? ( Values like AS are the same
and others are not accepted)<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I attached my eBGP in previous mail.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Regards Thomas<br>

<div class="">Hello Thomas,</div>
<div class=""><br class="">

<div class="">I’m a tiny bit confused by your question, but here
is my best attempt to answer it. In regards to multiple routers
say you have .4 and .5 both with a HA address of .1 when using
eBGP it will likely be the “old first” as you say that your host
will pass the INBOUND data to. In regards to the outbound data,
your host will accept the data from either .4 or .5 without
issue, in fact it is a common configuration to have people the
oldest BGP session be the inbound and then manipulate the HA and
have .1 be on the newest. That way you have a bit of load
distributed between the inbound and outbound host. </div>

I implemented bird in our Private cloud running proxmox to
distribute our public address with eBGP to our serverhost.<br
class="">
<br class="">
Through iBGP and a ucarp interface i have a HA gateway,
the problem is that our host receives the routes but there
are multiple entry points to our subnet ( the proxmox
hosts). This makes that a diffrent in & out route
doenst work. through following link: <a

I learned that my hosts selects its route based on age (
the bird with the first connection is chosen).<br class="">
<br class="">
<br class="">
Can i send a multi-exit discriminator with my eBGP
connection to my host? I googled but could find 2 answers
that did't change anything:<br class="">
<br class="">
# your default gateway IP below here<br class="">
protocol bgp eBGP {<br class="">
import none;<br class="">
export where proto = "static_packet";<br class="">
local as 65000;<br class="">
neighbor 10.80.x.x as 65530;<br class="">
password "SECRET";<br class="">
#med metric 10;<br class="">
#default bgp_med 10;<br class="">
}<br class="">
<br class="">
(offcourse i tried both without # and waited till export)<br
class="">
<br class="">
<br class="">
Or is there an other way to make sure that our host routes
always to the first server and so on.<br class="">
