RE: BGP synchronization

Follow the rules:

1. (pg 123) In order for IBGP to work, Peers must be fully meshed or routes must be redistributed into and syncronized with IGP.

2. If IBGP peers are fully meshed, syncronization must be disabled in order to inject routes learned from EBGP into the routing table as it traverses the IBGP group.

On pg 245, we know that sycronization was not disabled, so IBGP could NOT inject the routes into the routing table from the BGP table.

Based on LOCAL_PREF settings, both Zermatt and Moritz know from the BGP table which path they will take to the respective AS.

Now for the fun part!

1. We know that BGP did not inject the routes into the routing table because syncronization was not disabled.

2. We know that BGP is not redistibuted into IS-IS, so this did not inject the routes into the routing table.

3. But, Because default routes were created and injected into the routing table, the IBGP peers are able to get to their preferred paths.

Hope this helps....

Robert
