RE: bgp conditional route advertisement

Tony,
Narbik,

Thanx for your comments..
This is a production issue that I am facing.. There is no OSPF here... The
router learns the routes ( 1.1.1.1 and 2.2.2.2) from the directly connected
ibgp peer and conditionally announces 3.3.3.3 to its ebgp peers.. Though the
route being withdrawn immediately, the update is already getting propagated to
rest of the network which is causing undesirable issues..
Is there anyway, we can introduce a delay in triggering conditional
announcement ( giving enough time for bgp table to converge).. I tried to play
around with bgp scan timer but it did not help.

Thanx for your help again..

Rgds
Bala.

Thanks Tony,
I have not labbed this up but just a thought and I could be wrong..... what if
OSPF is advertising the route to BGP and this is how BGP router knows the
route and this is why it advertises the route, and if we configure "max-metric
router-lsa wait-for-bgp" on the OSPF router advertising the route, this will
configure the router to advertise a maximum metric until BGP routing tables
has converged, I believe it will wait for 10 minutes. It may work but it needs
to be labbed up. Thinking out loud......

Thanks Narbik nice and clear, I think the reservation that Balaji has it that
when the bgp process resets it causes host route 3.3.3.3 to be advertised
prior to bgp receiving all networks into its rib to me this is an order of ops
where bgp rib will install host route to 1.1.1.1 into global and not yet
learning the 2.2.2.2 route.
Balaji if you're testing I'd imagine not much traffic being forwarded to the
3.3.3.3 network prior to the route being withdrawn.
The answer is this is just the way the feature works.

Hi Balaji
This is a good question one which I have been scratching my head over, can you
confirm if this is in your production environment or is it on gns/IOU or home
lab if so please confirm platform/IOS version
