  • 1.  Deploying BGP FlowSpec

    Posted 09-19-2019 07:10

    Hi all,

    I am currently deploying BGP FlowSpec and getting into some issues.

     

    I have a VMX which is getting the flowroutes from an automator. The VMX is peering with the edge router which will take action according to the flow route. The issue is that according to Juniper documentation, the policy to advertise the BGP flowspec route via BGP should be:

         policy-options {
             policy-statement FLOW-TO-BGP {
                 term 1 {
                     from rib inetflow.0;
                     then accept;
    }
          term 2 {
                     then reject;
                 }
           }
    }

    However, I am not able to configure it like this, because inetflow.0 is not available to use.

    admin@VMX-1# set policy-options policy-statement FLOW-TO-BGP term 1 from rib ?
    Possible completions:
      <rib>                Routing table
      inet6.0

    Does anyone know how this can be solved?
    Thanks

    Hi,

    Can you please make sure you have "family inet flow" configured under the BGP? Only then the inetflow.0 table will be created.

    Can you provide the output of show bgp neighbor <>

    Hi,


    Yes, family inet flow is already configured under the BGP. Following is the output as requested.

    Hi,

     

    In the cli option, <rib> indicates whatever table you want to define.

     

    set policy-options policy-statement FLOW-TO-BGP term 1 from rib ?
    Possible completions:
    <rib> Routing table <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< call the route table

     

    Thus try this and it should work. I tried it in my lab and the comit goes through -

     

    set policy-options policy-statement FLOW-TO-BGP term 1 from rib inetflow.0 

     

    show | compare
    [edit policy-options]
    + policy-statement FLOW-TO-BGP {
    + term 1 {
    + from rib inetflow.0;
    + }
    + }

    re0:
    configuration check succeeds
    re1:
    configuration check succeeds
