Hi, group, When reading Halabi's book on "Internet Routing Architecture", I couldn't understand the following paragraph from P340 : For BGP learned routes, an AS can also advertise these routes to another AS with the internal IGP metric carried into BGP. This is achieved by using the following command as part of a route map towards a neighbor: set metric-type internal. This would cause BGP routes to carry the internal IGP metric as MED. Question 1 : Does the internal IGP metric here mean "hop count" for RIP, cost for OSPF or composite metric for EIGRP & IGRP ? Question 2: According this paragraph, the configuration command "set metric-type internal" should be used on the example on the same page, why I couldn't find this command in his example? If anybody can give some direction, thanks a lot. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ___________________________________ UPDATED Posting Guidelines: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/guide.html FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
