Alex,

Q1. Yes, it worked after putting a static route! So the concept I got now is
"Whenever there's an ebgp-multihop statement, you either specify a static
route or IGP to get to the indirectly connected next BGP hop interface."

Q2. R1 loopbacks are advertised in fact....I found my mistake as I need to
advertise the network between R1 & R3 also & redistribute them.

Really appreciate your advise, Alex, MANY THANKS!

Regards
HonSiong
