The output shows the following:
{
Switch F can send route information to Switch B and Switch C through the confederation by
establishing only an EBGP connection with Switch A.
{
Switch B and Switch D are in the same confederation, but belong to different sub ASs. They
obtain external route information from Switch A and generate the same BGP route entries; it
seems like they reside in the same AS although they have no direct connection in between.

Network requirements
, all switches run BGP. Between Switch A and Switch B, and between Switch A and Switch
C are EBGP connections. Between Switch B and Switch D, and between Switch D and Switch C are IBGP
connections. OSPF is the IGP protocol in AS 200.
Configure routing policies, making Switch D use the route 1.0.0.0/8 from Switch C as the optimal.
