I'd strongly recommend keeping away from "BGP" Extremes "speak". Especially if you want to it to work. We've seen a lot of problems, like failures to advertise default routes, getting MP-BGP to work at all, etc. I think the MP-BGP has been unsolved for, what, at least a year now. Just don't use extremes as routers, and you will be much, much happier. It _might_ work in the dumbest, unicast-only setups, but I have a lot of doubts about anything more complex than that. We made the mistake of one Extreme here as a router, and that has paid us back with sweat and tears. We'll be switching it to a Juniper freeing up soon, and we'll be dancing with joy afterwards. -- Pekka Savola "You each name yourselves king, yet the Netcore Oy kingdom bleeds." Systems. Networks.
