It isn’t my fault, they configured it that way before I got here! That was the entry level technician’s story Monday morning, and he was sticking to it.
Here is the rest of the story. Over the weekend, some testing had been done regarding a proposed BGP configuration. The objective was simple, R1 and R3 needed to ping each others loobacks at 1.1.1.1 and 3.3.3.3 respectively, with those 2 networks, being carried by BGP. R2 is performing NAT. The topology diagram looks like this:
The ping between loopbacks didn’t work, but R1 and R3 had these console messages:
Here is the challenge: Can you find 1 or more of them?

Here are the configurations for the 3 routers:
