  • 1.  Forwarding type routing instance does not forward traffic

    Posted 09-25-2023 10:07
    Hello,

    I have a forwarding type routing instance which i leak all routes from a BGP group and even though the routes are in the table when i ping using the instance i get the error: "ping: sendto: Can't assign requested address"

    Here is the issue with more details :

    > ping 80.249.209.0
    PING 80.249.209.0 (80.249.209.0): 56 data bytes
    64 bytes from 80.249.209.0: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=1.415 ms

    1 packets transmitted, 1 packets received, 0% packet loss

    >show route table r2.inet.0 80.249.209.0
    r2.inet.0: 31455 destinations, 62823 routes (31455 active, 0 holddown, 0 hidden)
    + = Active Route, - = Last Active, * = Both

    80.249.208.0/21 *[Direct/0] 1w2d 14:46:40
    > via xe-0/2/0.0

    I am running Junos 22.2R3.15 and the exact same configuration used to work fine with Junos 15.1R6.7

    Is this a bug?

    Here is my config for this:

    routing-options {
    interface-routes {
    rib-group inet direct;
    }
    rib-groups {
    direct {
    import-rib [ inet.0 r2.inet.0 ];
    }
    bgp-r2 {
    export-rib inet.0;
    import-rib [ inet.0 r2.inet.0 ];
    }
    }
    }
    protocols {
    bgp {
    group R2 {
    type external;
    family inet {
    unicast {
    rib-group bgp-r2;
    }
    }
    }
    }
    routing-instances {
    r2 {
    instance-type forwarding;
    }
    }

    Thanks

    Hi,

    The ping can't be sourced from a forwarding type routing instance, as the interfaces still belong to the default instance. 

    What is it that you are trying to achieve with this configuration? Forwarding-type instances are most commonly used for filter-based forwarding of traffic.

    Regards

    Thanks for the reply,

    As you said, i am using policy based routing to route packets, sourced from a specific IP address to that routing-instance.

    The real problem is that the routes from the BGP neighbours that i am injecting through a rib-group to that routing-instance are disappearing even though they exist in the default table inet.0

    If i clear the BGP session with that neighbour, once the new session is established, the routes are going to appear again in the routing-instance table but after a while they are going to disappear again for some reason.

    Any ideas why?

    I replicated your config in lab, and don't really see any such issue.

    Can you kindly share the outputs of the following? (in both cases, when the route remains and vanishes the r2 routing instance)

    • "show route protocol bgp table inet.0 detail"
    • "show route protocol bgp table r2.inet.0 detail"
    • "show route table r2.inet.0"

    Regards

    I am just going to paste the first few lines of the commands since pasting a full BGP table would be impossible here.

    And after i restart the BGP sessions from the BGP group the routing instance has now 200k routes instead of 925 that had before:

    I am not sure how long it took to remove the routes, but i checked half an hours later and the routes went down to 1335 again:

                    Thread: junos-main

    I am not sure why it's removing the routes from the routing instance, since the route clearly exist in the inet.0 table.

    Does local preference or any attribute matter to the rib group when it's importing the routes?
