| The network command controls what networks are originated by this box. This is a different concept from what you are used to configuring with IGRP and RIP. With this command we are not trying to run BGP on a certain interface, rather we are trying to indicate to BGP what networks it should originate from this box. The mask portion is used because BGP4 can handle subnetting and supernetting. A maximum of 200 entries of the network command are accepted.
RTA#
router bgp 1
network 192.213.0.0 mask 255.255.0.0
ip route 192.213.0.0 255.255.0.0 null 0
rather we are trying to indicate to BGP what networks it should originate from this box
what is "box" meaning???
halabi's book is great£¬but this section I can not understand what he saying. why he said BGP network commmand is different from igrp ? | |

"box" means the router you're configuring. | |

| Yep, a box can represent anything with an IP address. | |

Remember the meaning of the network command for IGRP and RIP? The command governs:
- which interfaces receives routing information
- which interfaces transmits routing information
- which networks are advertised
In BGP this command only governs which networks are advertised

PS. A box can also be made from cardboard paper, but it will not necessarily support the network command or an IP address for that matter  it's a complicated world  | |
