Re: [nsp] Question about BGP routing damping

The network statement relies on an IGP in that a route which matches
the one given in the statement must already exist. If that route
then "flaps" internal to your AS then so will the route that BGP was
advertising externally.

The best way to avoid this is to create static routes for any routes
specified with network statements.

Have a look at this document for further information:

// Hello,
//
// I have a simple bgp question.
//
// In the BGP statement, we defined the network.
//
// I thought network statement in the bgp statement is
// independent of internal routing protocol.
// Even if we lost the connectivity to a network,
// which does not cause BGP routing damping or does it?
//
// Only time that BGP routing damping occurs when you lose the connection
// to peer provided that we do not change any configuration change?
//
// Or am I missing something?
