i am trying to create an ibgp connection that will advertise my local networks (if possible) to each other. The problem i'm running into is that i don't want to use ospf for one router to talk to another router to know about local routes. The one router is just sitting on an edge with connectivity to a tier1 provider. That router is connected to another one of my routers that is connected to a couple of piers but also knows about the Internal network. Say 10.0.0.0/24 but its routable subnets. I can get it to work by having them talk ospf, but if i remove ospf i do not see any of my local networks ingested and hence the router doesn't know the way back to the source. I do have say a static route to 10.0.0.0/24 to null interface with value of 240 or something like that. If i don't want to use ospf i'm wondering how i get the injection of local subnets into the router. I can probably do a visio tomorrow if this is confusing but i'll do it in ascii here.
Internet<>routera<>routerb<>internal network. i would like routera to receive internal routes via bgp from routerb instead of passing traffic to null. I have to be missing something simple. This is on ios-xr 9k series routers.
