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!
