Backdoor is used for the opposite scenario, where you want to use IGP routes over EBGP routes, which by default have a lower admin distance. You use the backdoor statement to set the EBGP route distance to 200, the same as an IBGP learned route. Phil On Jan 20, 2008, at 2:08 AM, Suzan S.

Dear Cielieska, But is it recomended to change the administrative distance? Some guys suggested to add the network backdoor command to solve the problem which is better than changing the adminstrative distance. Thank you Suzan Cielieska Nathan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Suzan,

If the ultimate goal is "no BGP rib-failure" then yes. If the end goal is to steer traffic a certain direction then that may or may not be a proper solution. I don't have the whole scenario so I can't say for sure. Phil On Jan 18, 2008, at 5:47 PM, Suzan S. wrote: > I think we will loo

I think we will loose points if we are getting RIB-Failure routes in the lab exam, so I think we have to prefer the BGP routes and to change the administrative distance for the iBGP routes! Is this the right solution? Thanks Phil Bedard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: What are you tryi

What are you trying to accomplish exactly? If you want to use the BGP routes as primary versus the IGP routes, you can set the administrative distance higher for the IGP learned routes. Suppress- inactive will keep the BGP peer from re-advertising those RIB-failure routes to another peer.

Dears, When advertiseing the loopbacks in the bgp , they appear as RIB-failure routes in the BGP table as they are advertised through the IGP which has better adminstrative distance. Any one knows how to solve the problem of these RIB-failure Routes? Do we have to change the administrative
