Routing

Hi all,

Starting out with bgp fundamentals. I have a 2 router topology and am trying to establish an iBGP session between them:

---R0--xe-/4/1/18------xe-3/0/0--R1---

R0:
===
show protocols
bgp {
    group ibgp {
        type internal;
        local-address 1.1.1.1;
        neighbor 2.2.2.2;
    }
}
ospf {
    area 0.0.0.0 {
        interface all;
        interface lo0.0 {
            passive;
        }
        interface fxp0.0 {
            disable;
        }
    }
    preference 200;
}

 In show bgp summary output, I see the state as established but not seeing anything in the fields active/received/accepted/ like 0/0/0 as observed in my places on the internet. Am I missing something in the configuration?

R0:
===
run show bgp summary
Threading mode: BGP I/O
Default eBGP mode: advertise - accept, receive - accept
Groups: 1 Peers: 1 Down peers: 0
Table          Tot Paths  Act Paths Suppressed    History Damp State    Pending

                       0          0          0          0          0          0
Peer                     AS      InPkt     OutPkt    OutQ   Flaps Last Up/Dwn State|#Active/Received/Accepted/Damped...
2.2.2.2               65000        283        283       0       0     2:06:38 Establ
  inet.0: 0/0/0/0

 Also, noticing that routes are being added through ospf and not via bgp in the routing table, even though ospf preference is set to 200.

run show route

inet.0: 24 destinations, 24 routes (23 active, 0 holddown, 1 hidden)
+ = Active Route, - = Last Active, * = Both

1.1.1.1/32         *[Direct/0] 02:25:23
                    >  via lo0.0
2.2.2.2/32         *[OSPF/200] 01:52:55, metric 1
                    >  to 10.0.0.2 via xe-4/1/18.0
11.0.0.0/24        *[OSPF/200] 01:52:55, metric 2
                    >  to 10.0.0.2 via xe-4/1/18.0

Not sure if any routes are getting added via bgp:

R0:
===
run show route protocol bgp

inet.0: 24 destinations, 24 routes (23 active, 0 holddown, 1 hidden)

iso.0: 1 destinations, 1 routes (1 active, 0 holddown, 0 hidden)

inet6.0: 3 destinations, 3 routes (3 active, 0 holddown, 0 hidden)

 Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi Vinay,

you don't see routes because the peer is not advertising routes , you need to configure export policy on the peer to enable advertisement , 

https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/topics/topic-map/basic-routing-policies.html

Hi Vinay,

In your case you need to export OSPF routes on the router to BGP by configuring export policy under BGP , as the example below 

first configure the policy 

# show policy-options
policy-statement test {
term 1 {
from protocol ospf;
then accept;
}
}

then enable it under BGP

# show protocols bgp
group ibgp {
export test;
}

Hi A.A,

This is the default policy in the documentation for BGP: "Readvertise all active BGP routes to all BGP speakers, while following protocol-specific rules that prohibit one IBGP speaker from readvertising routes learned from another IBGP speaker, unless it is functioning as a route reflector". Had a couple of questions:

1) Didn't read anything about advertisements of directly connected routes for iBGP. Are they prohibited by default?

2) Can the default behaviour that an IBGP speaker is prohibited from readvertising routes learned from another IBGP speaker be changed with a routing policy?

Thanks,

Vinay

Hi Vinay,

for question 1 , as you said the default rule is to re-advertise the BGP routes , in oder to advertise any other protocol through BGP you will need export policy ,  including the direct routes , using the term2 in the following policy allow direct routes to be advertised 

# show policy-options
policy-statement test {
term 1 {
from protocol ospf;
then accept;
}
term 2 {
from protocol direct;
}
}

for question 2 , No this can not be done using routing policy 

If this solves your problem, please mark this post as "Accepted Solution."

Hi A.A,

Thanks a lot... Able to see BGP routes in the route table. However, still not able to see active/received/accepted route states in show bgp summary. Any idea what could be the issue here?

Hi Vinay,

The syntax that you are looking for, will be seen only when other families are enabled on the BGP peer eg. "family inet-vpn unicast".

By default, only family inet unicast is enabled and the syntax you are seeing is expected if only this family is enabled.

If you want to see the change then try enabling other families along with "family inet unicast".
