RE: IEWB - What networks to advertise in BGP?

Well I would agree with that except that the lab doesn't ask me to
advertise networks into BGP, but then it says to summarize one of my
networks in BGP (aggregate-address). It would be pretty ineffectual to
do that if I'm not already advertising my more specific networks.

Just like one of the gentleman said above:"Don't put anything on that
the
lab doesn't ask you to"
for route-reflector and confederation, the lab would ask you to peer
between
iBGP neighbors but not a mesh one, so that implies RR or Confederate.
I wasn't baffled by the way, I was just trying to suggest that after you
've
done with the lab, instead of wr erase and do a different one, play
around
with your config...add a network, filter different things...etc so you
could
learn more.
