Sorry for that. You are correct in the IBGP does not need multihop. Dont ask me what I was thinking at the time. Thanks for catching that.

You can peer with any address configured on the iBGP neighbor, as long as it's in the IGP. ebgp-multihop is only needed if you wanted to do eBGP using loopbacks, or other non-connected interfaces (e.g. if you wanted to load balance across 2 parallel connections to the same eBGP neighbor). -- Russell Heilling http://www.ccie.org.uk/ Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=54231&t=54187 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
