I think you need the command network 10.0.0.0 only on one router which will then advertise this network to the other routers, all other conditions right. This should be a good exercise for me as I have to do the Routing exam in 2 days' time! Message Posted at:

Tommy, I do not understand BGP very well yet, but you say: r3 is RR-Client for r2 r2 is RR-Client for r3 Why this? I do think that you probably should not have neighbor 1.1.1.2 route-reflector-client in router r3 configuration! Is this correct, to put it back to you? Message Posted at:

Yes, you need the network 10.0.0.0 command on all the 3 BGP routers. This network entity could, after all, be in the IP routing tables of the 3 routers. The next-hops should be different!! Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7i=54203t=54195
