Re: BGP w/ no synchronization

Thanks for all of you guys help on this one :)

I figured that if I also redistribute BGP back into OSPF at RTB, then
RTC & RTE would now be able to synchronize via the IGP (OSPF).

However, before I try this mutual redistribution at RTB, I also
noticed another thing that I don't understand. I advertised the link
between RTD & RTE (i.e. 172.16.0.12/30) by a network command at RTD,
but RTC just can't see this link (it kept on saying it's not sync),
even though it is reachable via OSPF (the middle 4 routers are
running OSPF).

RouterC#sh ip bgp

I took a few minuets to think about your senario. I think it behaves

as
it should.

BGP will not place a route in the table unless the route is in the in

the
IGP - if the route is learned from an iBGP neighbor. Routers B & D
learn
the routers from eBGP neighbors (different confederation ASs).
Router
B
(AS 65531) learns the route from router A (65530) - this is an eBGP
like
session - the route is placed in the routing table & is thus
advertised
to
its neighbors. This same method works to propegate the route to
router
D.

Router B also advertises the route to router C - but since thay are
in
the
same AS - router C does not place the route in the routing table
without a
IGP route to support it.

As you discovered - this can be fixed by disableing synchronization
on
router C & E.

Note - in you config - I did not see an ospf route for
150.150.150.0/24
-
I am assuming you did not add that route to ospf.

thanx,
Roger
