Com (E-mail)" cc: Subject: BGP Confederations Hi, If you have 4 routers within an confederation r1,r2,r3&r4. 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 !!
