Hi Group,

199.172.1.0 / 24 --- RTA --- RTB --- RTC

RTA's interface - 172.17.1.2 (connecting to RTB)
RTB's interface - 172.17.1.1 (connecting to RTA)
RTB's interface - 10.1.1.1 (connecting to RTC)
RTC's interface - 10.1.1.2 (connecting to RTB)

RTA is in AS 1
RTB & RTC are both in AS 2

I understand that for a router to learn and install an IBGP route
from an IBGP neighbor, it will need either "no sync" command or
learnt via any IGP. But for the BGP route's next-hop reachability, I
have searched on Cisco books & CCO website, but they only said either
advertised the next-hop to the IBGP router (in this case, RTC) with
IGP routes, or use "next-hop-self" command (on RTB). However, I
found that if I advertise the next-hop reachability (the
172.17.1.0/24 subent) via BGP's network command, it would also work.
Is this ok to use?? Is there any gotcha on this?? I just thought it
is pretty handy to just use BGP, without relying on any IGP.

     172.17.0.0/24 is subnetted, 1 subnets
C 172.17.1.0 is directly connected, Ethernet0
     10.0.0.0/30 is subnetted, 1 subnets

C 192.168.0.0/24 is directly connected, Loopback0
RouterB#

And at RTC, it would be able to reach 199.172.1.0 /24 via next hop of
172.17.1.2, which in turn is reached via 10.1.1.1.

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!!
