I would clarify that the rule here is that you each BGP speaking router needs to have a route to the Next Hop routers advertised into the AS. *** REPLY SEPARATOR *** On 12/21/2000 at 9:43 PM Katson PN Yeung wrote: >In case you have 2 routers connect back-to-back with iBGP, y

In case you have 2 routers connect back-to-back with iBGP, you don't need IGP. ""Shaw, Winston Mr 5 SIG CMD"" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > I saw this original question yesterday but got sidetracked before I could > send a response. > I think

Hi Dan, I thought I would throw my two cents in. There are a few key reasons why one requires an interior routing protocol (or at worst case a routing strategy should one use statics) within an AS. First and foremost, you must consider what iBGP does within the AS. Essentially, it allows i

But remember, you have to do full iBGP peering inside your AS. When you have two routers, it wouldn't be a problem for no IGP. When you have more than two, unless they are connected by a share medium (such as Ethernet) and peer using the connected interface, otherwise, you have to make some intra

Is it possible to run IBGP as the ONLY IGP for a particular network (AS)?? I know all routers would know about outside networks, but how about different internal areas knowing about what other networks are advertising BGP seems so capable that it could almost be done without OSPF, EIGRP, etc
