    Posted 01-12-2018 00:27

    Hello everyone!

    I`m trying to set up L3vpn.

    The set up is quite simple:

    PE1(lo 1.1.1.1/32,3.3.3.3/32)->PE2(lo 2.2.2.2/32, 4.4.4.4/32)

    PE1 

    show interfaces lo0.0
    family inet {
        filter {
            input LOOPBACK;
        }
        address 1.1.1.1/32 {
            primary;
            preferred;
        }
        address 3.3.3.3/32;
    }
    

    PE2

    show interfaces lo0.0
    family inet {
        filter {
            input LOOPBACK;
        }
        address 2.2.2.2/32 {
            primary;
            preferred;
        }
        address 4.4.4.4/32;
    }
    

    iBGP session established between 1.1.1.1/32 and 2.2.2.2/32

    And i got two LSP from 3.3.3.3 to 4.4.4.4 and from 4.4.4.4 to 3.3.3.3

    PE1 is RR  and PE2 is RR client.

    then i got vrf:

    PE1:

    show routing-instances VPN-A

    instance-type vrf;
    interface lo0.2000;
    route-distinguisher 65000:2000;
    vrf-import vpna-import;
    vrf-export vpna-export;
    routing-options {
        static {
            route 192.168.2.0/24 discard;
        }
    }
    

    On PE2:

    instance-type vrf;
    interface lo0.2000;
    route-distinguisher 65000:2000;
    vrf-import vpna-import;
    vrf-export vpna-export;
    routing-options {
        static {
            route 192.168.1.0/24 discard;
        }
    }
    

    Export policies on PE1:

    term A {
        from {
            route-filter 192.168.2.0/24 exact;
        }
        then {
            community add vpna-comm;
            next-hop 3.3.3.3;
            accept;
        }
    }
    term B {
        then reject;
    }
    

    on PE2:

    term A {
        from {
            route-filter 192.168.1.0/24 exact;
        }
        then {
            community add vpna-comm;
            next-hop 4.4.4.4;
            accept;
        }
    }
    term B {
        then reject;
    }
    

    So on export i want to change next-hop for l3vpn prefixes.

    But changing next-hop works perfect on PE2:

    run show route 192.168.1.0/24 advertising-protocol bgp 1.1.1.1 extensive
    
    VPN-A.inet.0: 2 destinations, 2 routes (1 active, 0 holddown, 1 hidden)
    * 192.168.1.0/24 (1 entry, 1 announced)
     BGP group internal-65000 type Internal
         Route Distinguisher: 65000:2000
         VPN Label: 299808
         Nexthop: 4.4.4.4
         Flags: Nexthop Change
         Localpref: 100
         AS path: [65000] I
         Communities: target:65000:2000

    While on PE1 it doesnt work:

    run show route 192.168.2.0/24 advertising-protocol bgp 2.2.2.2 extensive
    
    VPN-A.inet.0: 2 destinations, 2 routes (2 active, 0 holddown, 0 hidden)
    * 192.168.2.0/24 (1 entry, 1 announced)
     BGP group IBGP type Internal
         Route Distinguisher: 65000:2000
         VPN Label: 299824
         Nexthop: Self
         Flags: Nexthop Change
         Localpref: 100
         AS path: [65000] I
         Communities: target:65000:2000

    Hi Folks,

    Can you please share the full config of both the routers?

    I am interested to look into it.

    Hi Folks,

    I spend some time in lab and I could find similar behavior; with RR + LSP on secondary IP back-to-back, manipulating the next-hop with export policy does not work. Let me try to fix it. I assume the config matches to yours.

     

    Even though the topology looks simple by definition; it’s really tricky J

    Hi Folks,

    I could recollect this is a limitation with PE acting as RR. Apply a export policy in IBGP session with vpn-apply-export knob in place and it helps as below.

     

            bgp {

                group ibgp {

                    type internal;

                    local-address 1.1.1.1;

                    family inet-vpn {

                        unicast;

                    }

                    export cnh;

                    vpn-apply-export;

                    cluster 67.0.0.1;

                    neighbor 2.2.2.2;

                }

            }

     

        policy-options {

            policy-statement cnh {

                from family inet-vpn;

                then {

                    next-hop 3.3.3.3;

                }

            }
