Alec,

No, a static route is not acceptable to BGP's rules. It has to be an IGP
(dynamic routing protocol) such as EIGRP, OSPF, RIP, etc.

HTH,

Jonathan

Subject: BGP synchronization (static route)

Hi group,

According to Cisco documentation, if synchronization is enabled, BGP
peer
won't select prefix from their IBGP peer if the exact prefix does not
exist
in IGP. However, if I configured a static route for the exact prefix,
it
will be selected in the BGP table. Isn't that static route not
considered
as a kind of IGP ? or the BGP decision behaviour changed in IOS 12.2 ?

regards,
alec
