[isp-bgp] iBGP session across non-BGP routers

[Scott Ocken <sgocken@...]

I am trying to get an iBGP session between two cisco 7206 routers that have some non-BGP routers between them.  The session shows active, but no messages are send back and forth between the two ciscos.

Network Diag:

      dr-brief                                        Bulma
     --------      -----------      -----------       --------
     | 7206 |      | Wireless |     | Wireless |      | 7206 |
eBGP-|   RIP|------| router   |-----| Router   |------|RIP   |-eBGP
     | BGP  |      | RIP      |     | RIP      |      | BGP  |
     --------      -----------      -----------       --------

The Wireless Routers can only support static and RIP routes.  

The iBGP session config for both ciscos:


dr-brief:

 neighbor 69.5.128.254 remote-as 26793
 neighbor 69.5.128.254 description Link to Bulma
 neighbor 69.5.128.254 ebgp-multihop 10
 neighbor 69.5.128.254 version 4
 neighbor 69.5.128.254 next-hop-self

bulma:

 neighbor 69.5.128.253 remote-as 26793
 neighbor 69.5.128.253 description Link to Dr Brief
 neighbor 69.5.128.253 ebgp-multihop 10
 neighbor 69.5.128.253 version 4
 neighbor 69.5.128.253 next-hop-self

I tryed the ebgp-multihop 10 to see if i could make connect through the wireless routers.

Any help would be great.
