Topology

Note!

All routers are configured as per topology diagram (pic. 1) and loopback advertised into BGP.

Task 1
Ensure that R4 receives the traffic towards 172.16.104.0/24 from R1, and the traffic towards 172.16.144.0/24 from R2. Use MED to accomplish the goal.

Task 1
Ensure that R4 receives the traffic towards 172.16.104.0/24 from R1, and the traffic towards 172.16.144.0/24 from R2. Use MED to accomplish the goal.

Notice!
Currently, traffic is sent through R1 to both destinations.

R4 Configuration:

route-map RETURN_TRAFFIC_FROM_R2 permit 10
 match ip address prefix-list Lo0

Notice!
Again, 'clear ip bgp *' out must be issued for the changes to take effect.
