Configuring IP Services
6-12
• The remote IP address must be on the same subnet as one of the local IP
interfaces.
• EGP does not have any loop avoidance techniques — avoid loop topologies;
otherwise, you will have to configure EGP route filters to counter the
redundancies.
• An EGP configuration between two ASs, each using a subnetted interface to a
class A network, results in a routing black hole. RIP Version 1 aggregates the
single subnet into the natural network, but the gateway router does not have
complete subnet information or a natural network route to match the one
being advertised by RIP V1. This black hole is not an EGP or RIP defect:
rather, it is caused by the way RIP aggregates subnets into natural networks.
EGP will operate over a subnetted interface between two Bay Networks
routers if a static route is implemented. The router accepting the subnet from
the remote network must augment the single subnet information with a static
route for the entire remote network.
Editing EGP Parameters
This section describes how to edit, or customize, EGP parameters. You access all
EGP parameters from the Configuration Manager window (refer to Configuring
Routers for instructions on accessing this window).
For each EGP parameter, this chapter provides information about default settings,
valid parameter options, the parameter function, instructions for setting the
parameter, and the Management Information Base (MIB) object ID.
The Technician Interface allows you to modify parameters by issuing
set and
commit commands with the MIB object ID. This process is equivalent to
modifying parameters using Site Manager. For more information about using the
Technician Interface to access the MIB, refer to Using Technician Interface
Software.
Caution: The Technician Interface does not verify that the value you enter for
a parameter is valid. Entering an invalid value can corrupt your
configuration.
