FWIW: I do not use it, and neither do most of the people I know - on ciscos. On Junipers, apparently they like you to do this, not sure why. On a cisco, many people say the route is already in the IGP (has to be to be advertised by BGP), so why not just redistribute with filters. I prefer to put the prefixes into BGP manually, and nail something to the loopback for the IGP. If you make a mistake in typing the prefixes in, you get a single route wrong. If you make a mistake in your filter during redistribution, all kinds of bad things can happen. My $0.00000000002. -- TTFN, patrick
