Interoperability Test Scenario :
Combination of EBGP and IBGP speakers

Last Update: November 22, 1999


This scenario verifies interoperability when the target ROUTER is attached to the model network.

No Action Criteria Comments
1 Boot ROUTER-1.
-
-
2 Boot ROUTER-3.
-
-
3 Boot ROUTER-4.
-
-
4 Boot ROUTER-5.
-
Now ROUTER-3 and 5 learn the path between Net-x and Net-u.
5 Boot ROUTER-6.
-
Now ROUTER-4 and 6 learn the path between Net-x and Net-t.
6 Boot ROUTER-2. Check Routing Table of all routers. Now ROUTER-2 learns the path Net-z to Net-x, Net-u to Net-x and Net-t to Net-x and advertises all path to ROUTER-3 and 4.
