Community NO-EXPORT I have AS1 connected to AS2 via two different paths and different routers |-------------------| |--------| | |---------| |-----OTHERS | AS1 | | AS2 | | 192.168.0.0/16 | | | | |---------| |-----OTHERS |-------------------| |--------| I advertise my class B range from AS1 for example 192.168.0.0/16 on both routers but to achieve some load-sharing I addvertise 192.168.0.0/17 on one router and 192.168.128.0/17 on the other router as well. I setup a community NO-EXPORT for the /17 so AS2 won't advertise them out to other AS's. The question In AS2 BGP selects the best route and /17 should be selected because of the longest match rule. BGP places the /17 in its routing table. BGP should only UPDATE the other IBGP Peers with its routing table entry (IE Each router won't send it's entire BGP database). So if the /17 will be sent to other IBGP with the community NO-EXPORT how do other AS's learn about the /16 ? Dave Cahill
