All this is telling you is that the routes were not installed in the
routing table. In this case, the effect of applying the BGP backdoor
command is to increase the admin distance on the BGP-learned route to
200. This output would be correct given the configuration applied.

Subject: Cisco press LAB-3 BGP back door command

Hi all,
 
In the thei ciscopress lab 3 bgp section, the author is asking to
advertise same routes via ospf and bgp(loopbacks). The books debrief
sections specifies that in the bgp configuration these networks must be
specified as back door option to make IGP routes prefer over bgp routes.
When this was configured, in the router, bgp table is showing r>
networks(pls see the output), is it acceptable to have output like this
or any other method to overcome this bgp table. Scott, Brian and
others, pls have a look at the output and advise.
