BGP Route Reflector Question. [7:2900]

2001-05-02 Thread RAJESH.V.S
Hi All, Got a Doubt on BGP Route Reflectors. BGP uses route reflectors to simplify the IBGP mesh configuration. Say a RR reflects an IBGP route announced by RRclient-1 to another RR client say, RRClient-2. The RR keeps the next hop of the IBGP network announced by RRclient-1 un-altered while

Ok, I'll try to clear up some odd thoughts there. RR's simply allow the mesh to scale more gracefully, they do not modify path information (ie the Next_hop attribute) anywhere unless explicitly told to do so. Hence, In your example, RRClient which must be an ASBR (ie ebgp peering to outside AS
