Hello all - I may have been working on this too long.  Take a look
at the following network.

       AS100                      iBGP                       AS100
  22.22.22.0                                                 11.11.11.0
         R2-173.4.175.19------173.4.175.17-R1    <synchronization turned


192.1.1.2
off on R1 and R2
           |
           |
           | eBGP
           |
           |
           |
    192.1.1.1
          R3
         AS300
           |
          33.33.33.0

Router3
router bgp 300
 network 33.33.33.0 mask 255.255.255.0
 neighbor 192.1.1.2 remote-as 100

Router2
router bgp 100
 no synchronization
 network 22.22.22.0 mask 255.255.255.0
 neighbor 173.4.175.17 remote-as 100
 neighbor 192.1.1.1 remote-as 300

Router1
router bgp 100
 no synchronization
 network 11.11.11.0 mask 255.255.255.0
 neighbor 173.4.175.19 remote-as 100


If I do a show ip route on R1 I will get the following information
on the 33.33.33.0 network.
B       33.33.33.0 [200/0] via 192.1.1.1

If I do a ping to 33.33.33.1 (loopback on R3), the ping will fail and
that is
expected.  The 192 network is not advertised so R1 does not have a
route to it.

This is my confusion:  I was under the impression that routes do not
get installed into routing tables if there is no route for the next-hop
address.  Specifically, since R1 does not know how to get to
192.1.1.1, the 33.33.33.0 route should not get installed.

Also take a look at the Cisco Press BSCN study guide -pp 347
to 348.  It too seems to indicate that the route, in its example,
should not get installed.

**So why am I seeing the 33.33.33.0 route if I don't have a route
to 192.1.1.1?**

What am I missing here?

Thank you!

Scott Chapin
