This config would work, but has some unintended consequences. The main problem
is that BGP's default behavior is to propagate a learned route to each of your
BGP neighbors. The result is that AGIS will see ViaNet routes through you, and ViaNet will see AGIS
routes through you also. You may find youself being flooded by traffic being
routed between AGIS and ViaNet through your router. So, you need a method to allow you to learn routes
from ViaNet and AGIS while only exporting your own routes.
There are several ways to do this, but probably the best way to do this is to use
communities. A community is an arbitrary number (or series of numbers) that you can
associate with an individual route prefix.
Using route-maps, we can tag a route that we learn from a BGP neighbor with a community
(actually, we can tag routes that we learn from any source.) and we can selectively filter out routes
from routing updates that we send to BGP neighbors. These are the two basic properties of
route-maps and communities that we're going to use to control route propogation.
#
# This configuration treats ViaNet as the Primary network feed, and AGIS
# is relegated to being a backup connection.

Your CSU/DSU should be set for the following options:
B8ZS/ESF line coding
Clock Source: line
Starting channel: 1
Number of channels: 24
Channel sequence: contiguous
Note: Most brands of CSU/DSU's that we've used (Kentrox/Digital Link/ADTRAN) are
correctly configured for T1 use when reset to factory defaults.
