The output shows the following:
•
Switch F can send route information to Switch B and Switch C through the confederation by
establishing only an EBGP connection with Switch A.
•
Switch B and Switch D are in the same confederation, but belong to different sub-ASs. They
obtain external route information from Switch A, and generate identical BGP route entries
although they have no direct connection in between.

Network requirements
As shown in
•
EBGP runs between Switch A and Switch B, and between Switch A and Switch C.
•
IBGP runs between Switch B and Switch D, and between Switch D and Switch C. OSPF is the
IGP protocol in AS 200.
Configure routing policies, making Switch D use the route 1.0.0.0/8 from Switch C as the optimal.
