[c-nsp] Problems when configuring BGP on 4506

[Christian MacNevin]

 From your description, I think you're saying that you're sending  
routes to a receiver who isn't injecting them into the table?
Enable soft-reconfiguration inbound to check whether it's still  
receiving all the routes ('neighbor a.b.c.d soft-reconfiguration  
inbound') then
Check this with 'sh ip bgp <neighbor> received-routes'. Then cross  
reference with 'sh ip route bgp' to see what's getting in. if you're  
getting them,
check the next hop being advertised is available. If the next hops  
being advertised aren't reachable, then make sure the advertising  
router is
set to 'next-hop-self'.

HTH and apologies if I'm off target..
