Re: BGP Flapping routes

Hi John

Put the distance bgp 91 200 200 command in bgp router.
Did this on all R2 and R3 to settle the argument over who has the best route
to the loopbacks.
I have pulled down that lab but thinking about it, it might have been better
to neighbour to the physical interfaces and not loopbacks where routing
knowledge is used to form the neighbour relationships.
