It's a theoretical question. So far I've had one person email me saying OSPF can advertise a subnet as local on a shared multi-access media. If in fact BGP can't do this, then it's no big deal to me as nothing in my network relies on this functionality. Ralph Doncaster principal, IStop.com On

Aha. So, if you route to a ethernet interface, it will try to arp for that address on that subnet, even without having a local address on the same subnet? This seems to me to be something you don't want to do. Is the entire route valid as long as the router can ARP for one of the addresses in

OK, I'll bite. I've been doing ip route statements going on 8 years now, and I can't imagine why ever -- and how it would even work -- you'd want to ip route a netblock with a next hop of a multi-access brandcast media. As in, the next hop is still truly undetermined. I guess I don't know this

Ralph, What you are asking for is dynamic routing protocol to be able to tell you how to do something locally scoped. This is why we have redirects on ethernets. But, since you must do this with BGP, try this... (I haven't) router bgp x neighbor 10.10.10.2 remote-as x neighbor 10.10.10.2 r

No its not possible to say you can reach the subnet on the same media... IP maps to the [Ethernet] with ARP, but before a packet is passed down to MAC via ARP it is routed and if there is no route to the connected ethernet then it will necessarily need to use the other router. You must have th
