I have just configured the scenario below on my lab and it appears that the internal BGP peers do not need to know the Confed id or peers. If I look at the bgp table all the correct routing info is getting passed i.e. an internal bgp router still sees in its bgp routing table that networks have came from certain confeds i.e. as path = (8) (7) 254 23. I believe now that you only have to configure confed and peers only on the borders.
correct me if I am wrong here. -----Original Message----- From: Sijbren Beukenkamp [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 01 November 2001 15:39 To: McCallum, Robert Cc: 'Ccielab' (E-mail); Cisco@Groupstudy.

R1 has and EBGP connection to another As so therefore has the bgp confederation id and confed peer statements on it. My question is do all of the IBGP router (r2,r3&r4) require the confed statements on them even if they are only IBGP routers?? 14 days to go!! Starting to have some fun !!
