They are dynamic routing protocols, not dynamic gateway-creation protocols. You're asking iBGP to create an interface. iBGP (and other dynamic routing protocols) don't do that.
I suppose they *could* - the fun then starts when you get a routing flap and the other router tells you that you're not on one subnet because the subnet is unreachable and would you please remove the interface? And I'm willing to bet that there's a lack of MD5 at the important places in the dataflow... ;) What's puzzling me is how anybody has a big enough net that subnets are being added fast enough that automating the process is needed, but they don't already have a way to centrally manage the routers so they can just push the needed 'ip route 172.16.16.0 255.255.255.0 fa0/0' out somehow. -- Valdis Kletnieks Computer Systems Senior Engineer Virginia Tech
