IBGP problem concerning more specific routes

Wed Dec 3 16:05:31 UTC 1997

Routes heard from EBGP only travel one hop into your network when 
exported via IBGP.  But, this should meet that criteria. Have you 
done anything with localpref values or weights?  It may be that R2 is 
ignoring the specificity of the /24 in deference to the AS Path and 
Local AS number of the /16.
