Hi Ed!

I played around with BGP confed a while ago, and it was working fine in the sam
e config AS100 - AS1060 - AS1060 - AS1010, using OSPF as IGP.

The routes were transmitted.

Could check if the routes of AS100 are in the "sh ip bgp" of R3?

Remember that the next-hop attribute is kept inside the BGP confed (see below)

prt1/1cbgp.htm#xtocid870237

If R3 doesn't have a valid route to the AS100 BGP router, the route will not be
 accepted (put inside the ip route table), but should be present in teh BGP tab
le, w/o the infamous ">"....

As a workaround, you could use "next-hop-self" on all routers, and see if it fi
xes the issue.

Otherwise, we will need more info (config, sh ip bgp on R5 and R3).

Just my 0.02 Euro.

Regards,

Michel
