Hello all, The tag is there I'm assuming (I don't have DSG Volume 3 in front of me) to tag traffic in case of a routing loop. I didn't see any route-map BGP-to-RIP deny statements so I'm assuming that this is just in case. I've also gotten into the habit of creating route-maps of tagging just in case a routing loop occurs. That way I have a ready made statement with tagging already occuring. All I have to do at that point is add route-map BGP-to-RIP deny statement matching the tags that are creating the routing loop and BAM! routing loop is over. I hope this is helpful!
