Re: BGP4 peering wiht Sprint, and MCI

[rcraig () cisco com (Robert Craig)]

Hey, Nathan, try using static routes, then exporting them to BGP:

static {
        204.17.64.0 masklen 24 gateway <gwaddr>;
        204.183.0.0 masklen 19 gateway <gwaddr>;
        205.215.0.0 masklen 18 gateway <gwaddr>;
};

export proto bgp as <asnum> {
# connected networks, if necessary
        proto direct {
                ALL
                metric <whatever>; };
# statics, you may want to do less than all, see gated docs ;-)
        proto static {
                ALL
                metric <whatever>; };
};

Should be pretty quick.
