Service Manual

When a combination of locally originated and peer originated routes occurs, both
these routes will exist in the RTM. However, only the best route is kept active in the
RTM and the remaining route is rendered in-active.
It is possible to keep only one locally originated route in the BGP database.
Network command has preference over the re-distributed routes. When the locally
originated route is no longer present in the database the other route is
automatically installed.
In BGP, the next-hop for the route is calculated from the information that is
acquired through IGP or static routes.
