BGP Med is generally derived from 2 sources, IGP metric & explicitly
specifying via route-map. If the IGP metric is unacceptable, apply a
route-map to the neighbor, and change the metric to 0 or anything else to
your liking.
The Med is converted/used as metric when the route is put into routing
table, this can be tweaked via table-map command .
So in general
IGP (Metric ) ---->(tweak with route-map)----> BGP med ----> (tweak with
table-map)----> Routing table.
If none of the tweaks are applied, the IGP metric is carried right into the
routing table.
