route-reflector question

Hi All,

I have a frame-relay hub and spoke network with the hub as the
route-reflector server and the spokes as clients.

R3---------------EBGP ---------R4
| 137.20.34.3 137.20.34.4
| 137.20.1.3
|
IBGP
|
|
| 137.20.1.1 137.20.1.5 137.20..129.5 137.20.129.7
R1-----------------ibgp ---------R5----------EBGP ------------R7

R1 is the frame-relay hub with R3 and R5 as spokes.
R7 is initiating a route - 160.0.0.0/4. R4 is also intiating a route -
172.168.2.0
I had setup R1 to route-reflect to R5, but not to R3. So I had expected
that R5 would see the
route from R4, but R3 should not see the route from R7 - as R1 should not
reflect it - correct?

On R3 I see the following:

r3#show ip bgp
BGP table version is 33, local router ID is 137.20.31.65
Status codes: s suppressed, d damped, h history, * valid, > best, i - internal
Origin codes: i - IGP, e - EGP, ? - incomplete

     137.20.129.7 (metric 84) from 137.20.1.1 (137.20.129.5)
       Origin IGP, localpref 100, valid, internal, atomic-aggregate, best
       Originator : 137.20.129.5, Cluster list: 137.20.11.33

With a BGP setup of:

!
router bgp 2
  neighbor 137.20.1.1 remote-as 2
  neighbor 137.20.34.4 remote-as 1

On R1 I see:

r1#show ip bgp
BGP table version is 25, local router ID is 137.20.11.33
Status codes: s suppressed, d damped, h history, * valid, > best, i - internal

r1#show ip bgp 160.0.0.0

   3, (aggregated by 3 170.10.10.1), (Received from a RR-client)
     137.20.129.7 (metric 84) from 137.20.1.5 (137.20.129.5)
       Origin IGP, localpref 100, valid, internal, atomic-aggregate, best

with a bgp setup of:

router bgp 2
  no synchronization
  neighbor 137.20.1.3 remote-as 2
  neighbor 137.20.1.5 remote-as 2
  neighbor 137.20.1.5 route-reflector-client
  neighbor 137.20.12.2 remote-as 2
  neighbor 137.20.12.2 route-reflector-client

(note that 137.20.1.3 is not a route-reflector-client.)

On R5 I have:

r5#show ip bgp
BGP table version is 3, local router ID is 137.20.129.5
Status codes: s suppressed, d damped, h history, * valid, > best, i - internal
Origin codes: i - IGP, e - EGP, ? - incomplete

    Network Next Hop Metric LocPrf Weight Path

     137.20.129.7 from 137.20.129.7 (170.10.10.1)
       Origin IGP, valid, external, atomic-aggregate, best

with a setup of:

router bgp 2
  no synchronization
  neighbor 137.20.1.1 remote-as 2
  neighbor 137.20.129.7 remote-as 3
!

any ideas why R3 sees this route? Is this correct?

thanks,

Julie Ann
