Sami,

AFAIR back in days BGP did not copy IGP metric to MED automatically.
(Victor mentioned that recently).

You were required to use route-map with "set metric-type internal"
to make it work.

Nowdyas (I don't know what version of IOS since) BGP does that
automatically.

I don't know of a way to disable that behavior, but I dont think that's
really necessary. I just know that making aggregate removes MED attribute,
so
that may help sometimes ;)

After all, MED is really a "weak" attribute (follows origin in bestpath
selection
process). Also you can easily change it to any value, if you need to :)

HTH
