RE: RR & metrics not being propergated to ebgp peer from RR

Setting the MED manually should work. What does your config setting the MED
look like on the CE? "show ip bgp" may not show you the value that you are
setting outbound, you may need to look at the "debug ip bgp update" to see the
attribute actually being set, or if you can get the "show ip bgp" output from
the PE side you'll be able to tell if the attribute is there.

Hi Brian

Thanks but I have already tried this i.e same metrics/route-maps from CE
doesn't work man!

Can't originate the prefixes on CE as I need them to come from behind the CE
no IGP being used & don't really want to use one if I can get away with it..

If that's not an option then you'll have to manually set the MED outbound on
the CE towards the PE if you want to get it to propagate.

HTH,

Ok thanks for setting me straight Brain, what would be the best way to achieve
the desired goal in that case or is it not possible
