RE: Conditional BGP Advertisements

Yup, the 'backup' route has to be also present in the bgp table before it
can be advertised in the absence of the primary route.

To confirm that everything is working as planned, use the 'sh ip bgp neigh'
command and look for the part of the output which shows the status of the
advertise map.

Hope that helps,

Mark
