Pic. 2 - BGP Before Applying Configuration.


R5 Configuration:
!
router bgp 50
 no synchronization
 bgp router-id 172.16.105.5
 bgp log-neighbor-changes
 network 172.16.105.0 mask 255.255.255.0
 neighbor 10.1.35.3 remote-as 123
 neighbor 10.1.35.3 soft-reconfiguration inbound
 no auto-summary
!

Notice!
This command creates the exact copy of the BGP table. This causes high memory utilization but allows to apply inbound filtering on R5 without tearing down the session if the Route-Refresh messages are not supported on R5.
