Re: Building a BGP test network

I should clarify that my test network is not connected to the Internet or any other network. I would normally just peer and get the table, but I don't have that ability. I'm open to anything that could act like a BGP router where I could feed it an existing RIB.

I'm building a BGP test network and I'd like to replicate a full route table on a few of my routers. I thought I might be able to use Quagga and insert a rib dump, but I'm not finding a lot of info on if it's possible. (I've pinged the quagga list and didn't get any response)

So my question is, is it possible to feed a router on a private test network a full route table from a RIB snapshot? I have to think someone has done it and I'm just not searching for the right things.
Thanks,
