RE: bgp and static route problem (redistribution)

Since the route was first learned on that router itself, by
redistributing, you just allow those routes to be advertised by the
routing protocol they are redistributed into. It doesn't change the
routing table of the local router. If this was the case, as soon as you
redistributed from a routing protocol with a worse AD to a better, all
your routes would then be preferred by the new routing protocol. This
would cause all kinds of reachability problems (it would be like
recursive routing problems, but internally on the router)! So, for you
to see the BGP route being preferred, this route would have to have been
learned via BGP (from its peer). I'm not sure how to better explain
this...

Taking the config you have, add a static route on your peer (10.0.0.3)
to 12.0.0.0/16 using a AD greater than 200 (but no need to redistribute
on the peer). You will see this static route would never actually be
used, since the iBGP learned route (from Rack1R2) would be preferred.

Hope this helps...

Mike

ip route 12.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 Serial1/1 250

i configured a static route (12.0.0.0/16 network) and gave it an AD of
250 and redistributed static into bgp. it shows up as a valid and best
route in the bgp table but instead of being put in the routin table the
static route is placed i dont know y this happens but if u could help i
would really appreciate it
