EA,

dude, did you ever get this resolved? I used R1 as the Route-reflector and
have tried redistributing BGP into OSPF first on R1, then on R6. I think
the routes BGP validated as best was like 2 to 3 routes when redistribution
took place on R1. It looked fine when it's configured on R6, and hence AS1
(R8) gets the routes that it needs from OSPF...

Also, what about the BGP route that originates from AS3 (R7)? I can't get
the 172.168.70.0/24 route in the R6's BGP table to show as validated.
Hence, AS1 (R8) can never get that route. In the answers, R8's routing
table doesn't include this route, while the question (task 2, item 19)
states that R7 & R8 should receive both the 172.168.70.0/24 &
172.168.80.0/24 routes. Can you tell me what you did and whether you got
the 172.168.70.0 route over to R8? Thanks in advance!

Here are the conditions:
route reflection where the router reflector is not synced, but the 2 clients
are synced

when IGP->BGP redist is peformed at the route reflector, the two clients get
the bgp routes, but any routes that are not directly connected show up as
not sync'ed, and therefore not advertised to eBGP peers.

when IBP->BGP redist is performed at one of the two clients, that client and
the route reflector propagate BGP routes.

when I change the BGP RID on the route reflector (which is not synced) to
match RID from an intermediate (non-BGP) OSPF router and redistribute from a
router that is synced, the problem disappears. :-) You can add that to
your list of fixes.
