Hello Larry,
Hopefully I can clear up the confusion once and for all. ON page 180-181
from Dolye Routing TCP/IP vol2. "Figure-3-8 shows a better way to add
redundancy. Instead of creating two IBGP sessions over the alternative
paths, a single IBGP session is created between the loopback interfaces
of the routers. OSPF takes care of finding the best path for the IBGP
session and reroutes the session much faster if a link fails. The
significant difference in these configurations, beyond the obvious
creation of loopback addresses, is the neighbor update-source statement.
This command causes the BGP messages to be sourced from the IP address
of the loopback interface rather than from the physical interface the
message is sent on. Without it, the TCP source of the TCP sessions would
be the outgoing interface address."
Hope that helps.
Sincerely,
John Matijevic, CCIE #13254, MCSE, CNE, CCEA

Why? It looks like it's working. Will session go down or flap if
config is
left as is?
