  • 1.  SPRING: extended-nexthop-color for inet[6]-vpn AF

    Posted 10-03-2019 08:09

    Hi,

    Does aybody know when extended-nexthop-color will be supported for inet-vpn/inet6-vpn address families?

    I just checked on: Model: vmx Junos: 19.3R1.8 but it wasn't there.

    thanks

    It seems not yet support on any existing junos for vpn both ipv4 and ipv6. 

     

    [edit logical-systems name protocols bgp family inet |inet6 unicast],
    [edit logical-systems name protocols bgp group name family inet | inet6 unicast],
    [edit logical-systems name protocols bgp group name neighbor name family inet |inet6 unicast],
    [edit protocols bgp family inet |inet6 unicast],
    [edit protocols bgp group name family inet | inet6 unicast],
    [edit protocols bgp group name neighbor name family inet |inet6 unicast],
     
    Is there any RFC you are referring to for this requirement? If there's a use case, I suggest you to work with your local system engineer to rasie an Enhancement Request with Juniper

    Hello,

    "inet[6]-vpn" NLRI resolution over colored SRTE LSP is done differently, You need to configure a resolution-map and reference it in VRF import policy

    https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/topics/reference/configuration-statement/resolution-map-edit-policy-options.html

    https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/topics/concept/color-based-mapping-of-vpn-services-overview.html

    And if You have 2 or more equal-cost colored SRTE LSP, You need to configure "multipath-resolve" policy as well (see the second link above)

    Thx

    Hello @aarseniev,

    thank you for pointing me to correct documentation. I manged to configure inet[6]-vpn NLRI resolution based on color.

    I have just one more question if you don't mind.

    Now I'm trying to configure dynamic creation of SRTE path. I already tried multiple combinations but it seems I always have to provide some primary segment-list for temlate which requires to define a least one hop.

    This seems to me very weird as endpoint is taken from protocol next hop so I don't understand why do I have to define any intermediate hop.

    Also do you happend to know if there is similar feature to SR ODN implemented by Cisco IOSXR? I haven't been able to find anything in public doc.

    Dynamic CSPF SRTE policies are supported from JUNOS 19.2R1-S1, make sure You run it.

     

    The colored SRTE policy with dynamic path, without any constraints, can be configured with "compute" knob as below:

     

    set protocols source-packet-routing source-routing-path SRP1 to 203.0.113.1
    set protocols source-packet-routing source-routing-path SRP1 color 203113 set protocols source-packet-routing source-routing-path SRP1 primary BLAH compute

     

    You only need to define a primary segment-list with hop-list when You need explicit routing along this segment-list and currently only loopbacks/router-ids are supported in such hop-list.

    Cisco ODN has 2 flavors:

    1) ODN as described on www.segment-routing.net  landing page, it does NOT require BGP route injection - it explicitly says so
    2) ODN as described in this video from Cisco https://video.cisco.com/detail/videos/service-provider/video/5227897785001/on-demand-next-hop-odn?autoStart=true&page=10  and it DOES require BGP route injection.
    Juniper does not support ODN flavour #1.

    Juniper supports a feature similar to ODN flavor #2 - its is called "Dynamic creation of segment routing LSPs using BGP protocol next hops", see https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/information-products/topic-collections/release-notes/19.2/jd0e4798.html#jd0e4874

    Hello Alex,

    thanks for taking time to answer.

    As I mentioned in initial post, I'm testing this on vMX 19.3 so these features should be available.

    > show version 
    Model: vmx
    Junos: 19.3R1.8

    Dynamic policies are working, I had varios types of configuration and kind of missed that combination of tunnel-end + compute works too, thanks 🙂

     

    For ODN i'm interested in flavor #2 as you desscribed it. I read doc which you referenced before but based on that it's still not clear to me how configuration should be crafted, here are steps I followed:

    1) dyn tunnels are defined with/out color, SR PATH TEMPLATE and destination networks -> both mandatory argument

    [edit routing-options dynamic-tunnels]
    +    SRTE-ODN {
    +        spring-te {
    +            source-routing-path-template {
    +                SRTE-PATH-TEMPLATE color 22222;
    +            }
    +            destination-networks {
    +                10.0.0.0/24;
    +            }
    +        }
    +    }

    2) then SR TEMPLATE has to be defined with mandatory argument -> primary SR-LIST

    [edit protocols source-packet-routing]
    +    source-routing-path-template SRTE-PATH-TEMPLATE {
    +        primary {
    +            SRTE-LIST-ODN;
    +        }
    +    }

    3) last SR-LIST must be defined where <hop-list> is mandatory, dynamic only can't be used here

    [edit protocols source-packet-routing]
    +    segment-list SRTE-LIST-ODN {
    +        dynamic;
    +        ## Warning: missing mandatory statement(s): <hop-list>
    +    }

    I'm not sure what I'm missing here but for ODN triggered by BGP route I don't want to define explicit hops. even docs says dynamic LSP , so tunnel-end (BGP route NH) should be enough to compute dynamic LSP. Is this doc complete or have I missed something obvious?

    thanks

    I checked the funcspec for this feature and yes, You have to define at least 1 hop for the SRTE policy' outgoing interface to be resolved.

    This feature was developed with specific topology in mind (dual plane) so it was thought that for a given dynamic SRTE policy' its primary paths shall take RED plane and secondary path shall take BLUE plane, etc etc.

    Both BGP-triggered SRTE policies and CSPF-computed SRTE policies are not supported together, AFAIK.

    Hi Alex,

    thank you for info you managed to provide.

    Hopefully missing features will be implemented in coming releases of Junos.

    Ask about when will it be supported, and is it also impossible to define the current situation based on dynamic delay?
