The route will be advertized out the bgp router , other routers will recieve
the route and update it in its routing table. When a packets is destined to
that network the router will forward the packet to the bgp router which was
originally avertizing the route.  When the originating router get the packet
it will not drop it because itwill have a better route in its routing table
than the null 0.  I know its weird to understand.  The ip route 148.132.0.0
0.0.255.255 null 0 command is just used to advertize the route to peer
routers it doesnt mean that anything to this network will be dropped in the
bit bucket

Subject: BGP question


Cisco recommends advertising an internal network into a BGP using a Static
Route.
How would the static route of

ip route 148.132.0.0 0.0.255.255 null 0

be able to route the network on the internal network. The null 0 would drop
the packet from being routed. The Cisco White paper on BGP says that it
would be matched to a more specific address than above, and be routed out
the appropriatte interface.

Could someone explain exactly how this is true?

Thanks allot.
