All,
If I have three interfaces:
int lo1
ip address 172.5.5.5 255.255.255.255
int fa0/0
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
int s1/0
ip address 10.5.5.1 255.255.255.252
Would my network statements in BGP for s1/0 and lo1 look like:
network 10.5.5.0 mask 255.255.255.252
network 172.5.5.5 mask 255.255.255.255
network 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0
In other words, my masks in bgp should match what's on my interface, right? I know there's exceptions to the rule.
Thanks!

Yes, it must match the mask in the routing table.

When you use the mask in the BGP network statement then BGP looks into the routing table for a prefix with exactly that mask. So you your BGP mask should match what in on your interface.

John,
That is correct. By the way, the mask configured on the network statement for 192.168.1.0 is the default maks for a class C prefix and will therefore not show in the config.
