BGP gurus .....

Has anyone managed to get BGP backdoor to work properly ??? I'm going through D
oyle's example on page 240 and I can't seem to get the BGP backdoor command to
work properly.

The funny thing is that I am able to get the correct results and change the EBG
P route to a local BGP route and make RIP take precedence over the local BGP ro
ute with the "network 172.18.0.0" command, however when I use the same network
command and just add "backdoor" to it, the RIP routes do not appear .... strang
e I thought ????

The RIP routes are definitely getting through as when I close the BGP sessions,
 the RIP routes appear in the routing table. It seems that when the "backdoor"
command is added to the network command, BGP does not modify the EBGP to a loca
l BGP route and the route table still has an AD of 20.

Any thoughts ????

Thanks peoples ..... MW
