default bgp_med works, but in a slightly different way that you expect.
It does not mean that it sets bgp_med attribute to that value, it just
means that if two BGP routes are compared according to bgp_med than
this value is used if one route does not have a bgp_med atrribute.

(void) value just means that the route does not have bgp_med attribute.

Usual way to set bgp_med attribute is to set it in the export filter.
