Stanzin, If you have no other IGP's running, then yes. You have to know how to reach the loopback on the remote router since a recursive lookup will have to occur since the remote loopback is not a directly attached network.
If you turned on an IGP (What a typical network would do, or at least should) and it learned all the respective prefix's within this IGP then you would not need the static entry for IBGP. Many net admins add the static entry for EBGP to keep the prefix active in the RIB so it's always advertised, even if the routes to reach that prefix went down within the EBGP advertisers IGP. -Julian ""Stanzin Takpa"" wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > In the following cisco configuration , Is the static route necessary, either > it is ebgp or ibgp? > > > > > ROUTER-A > interface Loopback0 > ip address 2.2.2.2 255.255.255.255 > ! > interface Serial1 > ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0 > ! > router bgp 400 > neighbor 1.1.1.1 remote-as 400 > neighbor 1.1.1.1 update-source Loopback0 > ! > ip route 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.255 10.10.10.2 > > > ROUTER-B > interface Loopback0 > ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.255 > ! > interface Serial1 > ip address 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.0 > ! > router bgp 400 > neighbor 2.2.2.2 remote-as 400 > neighbor 2.2.2.2 update-source Loopback0 > ! > ip route 2.2.2.2 255.255.255.255 10.10.10.1 > > > > Stanzin Takpa Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=37750&t=37730 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
