RE: BGP Backdoor

Nick,

Consider a situation where you have two Autonomous systems and you are
doing some kind of IGP between them now if you learn the same route
through bgp process although the bgp is a less efficient way of reaching
but bgp being lesser admin. Distance, it will be trusted. In order to
avoid this you use the backdoor command to increase the distance of bgp
to 200 so it is not trusted. Thanks.

Hi all,

Can anyone help me understand BGP backdoor command please? Does anyone
have a real world example of why it would be used?

Thanks
