Hi Anthony,

Just a suggestion,

other than using tunnel as a solution, I think you can also configuring
policy-based routing (at the black-hole router) can also be used as an
alternative in order to avoid BGP<->IGP redistribution. Of course, my
suggestion purely base on the assumption that you are in lab examination
cause there are not many prefix you have to configure for matching and
policy-routing.

Best Regards,
Jacky
