  • 1.  Import received/non-active routes to routing instance

    Posted 10-12-2020 02:39

    Hi

     

    Let's say I have 2 transits from different ISPs with 2 full bgp v4 tables. One of these tables I would like to import into a routing instance before any bestpath selection. Like dumping the received routes directly into another routing instance.

     

    Is this possible?

     

    Thank you

    Hello,

    Short answer is yes.

    Long answer is that only all valid routes (NH reachable, no AS loops, no cluster-id loops, etc) can be imported this way.

    You need to create a RIB-group and assign it to a family under [protocols bgp group BLAH neighbor X.Y.Z.W family inet]

    Example config below:

     

    set routing-options rib-group BlAh import-rib [inet.0 DUMPSTER.inet.0 ]
    set routing-instances DUMPSTER instance-type virtual-router
    set protocols bgp group BLAH neighbor 203.0.113.1 family inet unicast rib-group BlAh

    Thx
