IOS-XR eBGP confederation require RPL default policy?

[Federico Coto Fajardo]

Hi community,

I've tested in the lab configuring eBGP confederation peers without the need to configure RPL to explicity permit the prefixes require to receive/advertise just as "true" eBGP neighbors.

I just can't find documentation or any reference that says that a default RPL policy is just needed for "true" eBGP neighbors and not for eBGP confederation peers.

If anybody can share any reference to this, I appreciate it.

Thank you,

Fede.

Hello Fede,

I think this is the document you are looking for regarding eBGP:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/routers/asr9000/software/asr9k_r4-2/routing/configuration/guide/b_routing_cg42asr9k/b_routing_cg42asr9k_chapter_00.html#con_1197962

Configuring RPL with BGP confederation is not a required step (implicitly made)

Hope this helps.
