What u r looking at is BGP table. It is showing here, by installing as

* >i.

This means that, this route was learnet through IGP rather than an IBGP. And
the same route is there in the routing table so that it will advertise it to
the EBGP neighbor.

For u verify which path does the packet takes is it BGP or IGp u need to
llok in to the

Routing table by doing show IP route.

Hi,

Could someone please help me to explain the following, why the bgp chooses
the
iBGP as the best one?

Why doesn't it choose the external one as the best one?

P1R3>show ip bgp
