Hi all,

Below basic BGP questions poped up my mind. I am sure most of you know.

Question 1:
-----------------

R6----ebgp----R1 -------R2-------R3-----ebgp---R7

R1, R2, and R3 are IBGP.
R5 & R7 are external peers

Quote:
Routes from Non-client (R3) is advertised to clients only.
Routes from Clients is advertised to non-clients + other clients.

Assuming the quote is correct, Can i define just R1 as client to R2
& leave R3 as non-client to R2. Will everything work ok ? or Is
there a problem expected ?

Question 2:
-----------------

Within Confederation, according to previous observations & notes (IE
lab 8) i have written down "ebgp-multihop is not needed within
private peers of same confederation". I recently saw a
contradicating statement in one of the tech tips... that Can you
answer which one is correct ?

Thanks in Advance
/SAN
