Wellthat is what the book says. Try it out on your own lab and you will see that a Route-reflector client does not have to be directly connected to the Route-reflector for it to work. Just tried it in my home lab and it works, the client is 3 routers away. Message Posted at:

A practise that is becoming quite common is running BGP on the edges of an AS only. It is a waste for a router in the core to have a full internet table. The Core could then comprise of ie MPLS which would optimize the traffic flows. I cannot remember which book I used but when I was studying for

Yes, EBGP multihop is between different AS's, that is a different setup, it must also have a way of reaching across the hops, an IGP. On a IBGP you can have a hop across ie 5 routers in a IBGP peering session. As long as the IGP can reach the other peer it will work. Also, the full mesh

You will need at least one 2620/21 with a Fastethernet port for ISL/.1Q trunking. The 2500's can do anything a 2600 can besides voice and ATM, but you can also use a MC3810 for voice which looks like a 2500 (With 16F/64D you can get a MC3810 image that does VOIP instead of only L2 ie VOFR) A 2520

looks like a source problem, try pinging with extended commands. Use a IP address that is participating in the routing protocol. ie, if you ping an IP address in a foreign AS the router will most likely use the IP address of the IGP, if that IP add is not participating in BGP it will not be
