Hi gurus,

Imagine following topology:

P2(AS11)------R2(AS100)-------R3(AS100)-------P3(AS11)

In order to advertise route 199.199.0.0/16 (static, redistriuted to BGP)
from router P2 to P3 (and some routes form P3 to P2), as-override has
been
configured on both R2 and R3:

write at R2# show group p2
type external;
peer-as 11;
as-override;
neighbor 192.168.1.2;

[edit protocols bgp]
write at R2#

write at R3# show group p3
type external;
peer-as 11;
as-override;
neighbor 192.168.2.2;

{master}[edit protocols bgp]
write at R3#


Route 199.199.0.0/16 is present in P3 routing table:

p3 at P3> show route protocol bgp terse 199.199/16

inet.0: 5 destinations, 5 routes (5 active, 0 holddown, 0 hidden)
+ = Active Route, - = Last Active, * = Both

A Destination        P Prf   Metric 1   Metric 2  Next hop        AS
path
* 199.199.0.0/16     B 170        100            >192.168.2.1     100
100 I


Apparently the same route is advertised back, from R2 to P2 (it can be
seen
as a hidden route):

p2 at P2> show route hidden extensive

inet.0: 8 destinations, 10 routes (8 active, 0 holddown, 1 hidden)

Do you have any explanation of hidden route in P2?

Thanks,
