Hi,
Question 1: Yes, it will work. When using RRs, the requirement is to have a full-mesh between all RRs and non-client IBGP peers, which you have got.
Question 2: Within confederations, session establishment works just as it does between actual EBGP peers. Therefore, if you are configuring a session between peers in two different sub-ASs, you will need to use ebgp-multihop if you are peering to non-directly-connected addresses (e.g. loopbacks).
HTH,
Paresh.

Subject: Basic BGP question
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
