There are two different tables
One is the routing table and the other is a bgp table
Ok with the routing table it works this way
The first thing is that if u have a network with the
same mask learned from different ways then
Then the less admin distance route is put in the
routing table
If booth the routes r learned from the same routing
protocol then the less metric route is put in the
table
With bgp what happens is that
The routes are put in the bgp table first where based
on some things like the med, local p, weight, router
id, origin, etc one route is preferred route and is
marked as > this route is put in the routing table
So that is if a router has a route learned by ebgp and
ibgp and the ibgp route is the preferred route in the
bgp table based on the weight or med or local pref
then the ibgp route though has a adm distance of 200
will be installed in the routing table
So I think that with bgp the ad of 20 or 200 will not
play a role unless there is some other routing
protocol that is also learning the same route
That is if I am learning the route from ebgp & ibgp &
ospf then if in the bgp table the ebgp route is the
preferred route it will get installed in the routing
table
If in the bgp table the ibgp route is the preferred
route then it will try to make it to the routing table
but will not get installed as the ospf route will get
installed.
Can some one PS confirm what I am thinking is the way
that it works or there is some other saga to it
TIA
