Hi guys,

Situation: I have a router that has an EBGP session with another and IBGP to
other peers. I want to send an aggregate route to the EBGP peer but not to my
IBGP peers. For some reason, adding the aggregate-address on the EBGP-speaking
router screws up all my IGP routing and I don't know why.

Question:
1. Can I suppress this aggregate to my IBGP peers?
2. Why the heck would that aggregate address screw up my IGP routing? (I know,
it's hard to answer without a context. Sorry. I'm just looking for a "gotcha"
that I might not know about when dealing with aggregates within an IBGP/IGP
cloud).

Thanks.

In a state of panic. 3 days to go.

- Ben
