Henry, Thanks for the verification. Although I'd like to add another command to the picture --- "set metric-type internal". The documentation says "if the IGP metric changes, BGP will readvertise the route every 10 minutes". There is no mention how long BGP will readvertise the affected routes. Any ideas?
