Subject: BGP CONFEDERATIONS Question

In a confederation can I still use update-source between two different
portions of the confederated network. Ie between 5555 to 4444 neigbors
with a confed of 6?

Answer: Yes

If I continue to use a loopback as a neighbor address do I need EBGP
multihop between to two AS's within the confed. to permit connectivity?

Answer: If you are using loop for peer address...are the peers directly
connected..retorical question..leading to your answer.

Does the next-hop commands still relative within the confed?

Answer: How do the AS within the confed behave....just like external AS to
each other. However outside the confed they appear a single AS.

Finally, if a router is part of a confederation and has no other
connections other to a member of it's "native" conferedation, do you
still need the confederation peer ID command???

Answer: don't know never tried it, don' think so..

I'm doing a rather complex LAb (self invented) and having issues with
such... Thanks
