well, nexthops are not modified on iBGP, so both routers have to be able to reach the nexthop. you might need static routes or some internal routing protocol to achieve that. not sure why you talk about a /30, in this setup you usually use a /29 to each uplink. > And on a semi > related note, what happens when inbound traffic comes from our upstream and > into core2, which has BACKUP state on the internal facing CARP group - > presumably it needs to bounce off the exchangepoint network and through > core1? it needs some way to reach your internal network, be it through core1 or the address the ohysical interface for that carp interface. -- BS Web Services, http://www.bsws.de/ OpenBSD-based Webhosting, Mail Services, Managed Servers, ...
