All the natural BGP environment is also gone, since show ip route will only show the route that ended up in the RIB, while show ip bgp might show a few paths to a route, with one of them being best. I have been pondering over this issue for some time now (not too much time to invest on it), since I wanted to created a duplicate model of our production network in a test environment, not connected to any outside network (thus cannot peer, same problem as described here). --Ariel -- Ariel Biener e-mail: [email protected] PGP: http://www.tau.ac.il/~ariel/pgp.html
