Switching

I'm trying to understand the configuration options for routing between two separate EX stacks connected through a MAN Ethernet connection...

Currently... I have two connections, one 200Mbit and a second thats 100Mbit  connecting to remote buildings together.  I have static routes setup currently on each switch like so:

----Core

static {
    route 10.6.0.0/16 {
        qualified-next-hop 10.6.1.6 {
            metric 10;
        }
        qualified-next-hop 10.6.1.2 {
            metric 100;
        }
    }
}

--- Remote Office

static {
    route 0.0.0.0/0 {
        qualified-next-hop 10.6.1.5 {
            metric 10;
        }
        qualified-next-hop 10.6.1.1 {
            metric 100;
        }
    }
}

Which routing protocol should I use to make the link failover between the two lines based on complete link state... I was looking at OSPF and is-is but... from the examples online I'm not seeing how to configure them correctly.

Hi,

OSPF should be fine (IS IS needs an extra license). The only thing that we have to take into account is that OSPF needs different interfaces for different links. That means that the primary link should be connected to a different interface as the backup link.

I would suggest, you configure these uplink interfaces as layer 3 interfaces. Let's say you use ge-0/0/0 as the uplink for the primary and ge-0/0/1 as uplink for the backup.

then you sould configure

interfaces {
    ge-0/0/0 {
        unit 0 {
            family inet {
                address 10.6.1.17/30;
            }
        }
    }
    ge-0/0/1 {
        unit 0 {
            family inet {
                address 10.6.1.5/30;
            }
        }
    }

}

Then you can activate OSPF on these interfaces. We have just on thing to consider: Both interfaces have equal cost from OSPF point of view. That these line are rate limited by the provider is not obvious to the switch/router. We have to manually adjust the metrics:

protocols {
    ospf {
        area 0.0.0.0 {
            interface ge-0/0/0.0 {
                metric 10;
            }
            interface ge-0/0/1.0 {
                metric 20;
            }
        }
    }
}

You could also consider using authentication with OSPF. Or you could activate BFD for fast link down detection.

On your other switch, you have to mirror your configuration.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the detailed reply.  How are the proper routes transfered?

the one side only needs to know how to go to 0.0.0.0, but the core side only needs to know that anything 10.6.0.0/16 is accross those links?  How does OSPF know about the local networks on the remote side?  or is that just something built into it... and its going to work as you put it? 

Hi,

OSPF is a link state protocol. That means, all routers within the same area have to maintain the same graph where the shortest path algorithm runs on.

If you want to filter routers, you can introduce areas different to the root area (id 0), let's say area 1, 2 and so on. So you could put your remote office router/switch in area 1 and your main office router in area 0. The be accorate, you put the interfaces facing the remote side into area 1 in the main office and you have to assign at least one interface into area 0, possibly a loopback interface.

If a router belongs to more then one area, it is called an area border router (ABR). On an ABR you can do filtering. If you want that the router in the rmeote office receives only a default route, area 1 would be called totally stub area. On the other hand, in area 0 you will still find the routes of area 1.

To explain everything in detail would exceed the possibilities of this thread. But you should be able continue working with this.

Here is a short example:

protocols {
    ospf {
        area 0.0.0.0 {
            interface lo0.0 {
                passive;
            }
        }
        area 0.0.0.1 {
            stub default-metric 10 no-summaries;
            interface ge-0/0/0.0 {
                metric 10;
            }
            interface ge-0/0/1.0 {
                metric 20;
            }
        }
    }
}

On your router in the remote area, you have to just mention the stub statement, without the default metric and no-summaries verbs.

I hope this helps a bit.

I did this... however I never saw any routes get pushed to either side... how are the routes published?

Does the OSPF adjacency get established? You can verify this by issuing a show ospf interface command in operational mode.

Dominik

This is what I have currently on both switches:

> show ospf interface
Interface           State   Area            DR ID           BDR ID          Nbrs
ge-1/0/1.0          DR      0.0.0.1         10.2.1.254      0.0.0.0            0
ge-3/0/8.0          DR      0.0.0.1         10.2.1.254      0.0.0.0            0

> show ospf interface
Interface           State   Area            DR ID           BDR ID          Nbrs
ge-0/0/0.0          DR      0.0.0.1         10.6.1.2        0.0.0.0            0
ge-1/0/2.0          DR      0.0.0.1         10.6.1.2        0.0.0.0            0

Hi,

first, there must always be a root area in OSPF (=area with id 0). Different areas with id > 0 can be created,e.g. to reduce the size of the link state database, to filter out routes etc. As it seems you don't have other OSPF enabled interfaces, please change your area id from 1 to 0 on both routers.

You can see from the column neighbor, that no interface has established an adjacency to its neighbor. If this remains the same once you change the area id to 0 we can do the following checks:

I assume, that the virtual chassis stacks are connected this way:

VC1             VC2

ge-1/0/1 <-> ge-0/0/0

ge-3/0/8 <-< ge-1/0/2

First verify the link between the two interfaces by using ping and specify the IP address of the remote if as target and the local IP address of the link interface as source. And vice verse, for both links.

Then verify the MTU on both interfaces. They must match so that a adjacancy can be formed. The MTU size is displayed when issuing a show interface ge-x/y7z command in the third line.

If even these three steps don't help, we have to make use of the traceoptions. Issue these commands on both VC stacks and then post the content of the trace file:

set protocols ospf traceoptions file ospf.debug
set protocols ospf traceoptions flag hello detail
set protocols ospf traceoptions flag error detail

Dominik

I think we are almost there...

The correct connection topology is:

VC1(mkt-core)   VC2(pnt-sw01)

ge-1/0/1 <-> ge-1/0/2

ge-3/0/8 <-< ge-0/0/0

mkt-core having many 10.x/16 networks on it including being the gateway out... and pnt-sw01 having the 10.6.0.0/16 network, with the mkt-core switch being its gateway.

I'm adding the trace options, I will post those results in a bit.

Hi,

if the routes your are missing are e.g. static routes, you won't see them on the other stack unless you export them into OSPF that transport it to its neighbors!

I can give you an example if you tell me what routes you like to leak into OSPF. All static ones?

Regards,

Dominik

mkt-core has the following networks branching off of it:

10.2.0.0/16 (local)

10.8.0.0/16 (another MAN connection)

10.12.0.0/16 (another MAN connection)

pnt-sw01 has a few local networks,

10.6.32.0/24

10.6.52.0/24

10.6.22.0/24

10.6.36.0/24

I would like mkt-core to know about all of the local networks on pnt-sw01

I would like pnt-sw01 to know its gateway is mkt-core.

Here is the tracelog from the mkt-core switch:

As a supplemental to my previous post, here is a short example to export all static routes into OSPF. Per default, only OSPF routes are flooded to other OSPF neighbors, all other routes (like statics) have to be first exported into OSPF:

[edit]
+  protocols {
+      ospf {
+          export export_statics_into_ospf;
+      }
+  }
+  policy-options {
+      policy-statement export_statics_into_ospf {
+          term term1 {
+              from protocol static;
+              then accept;
+          }
+          term term2 {
+              then reject;
+          }
+      }
+  }

Regards,

Dominik

If you wan't that a specific local interface (and its associated network) appear in OSPF, you have to add the interface in OSPF. If you know that there will be no OSPF router on this network you want to form an adjacency with, just add the passive option:

set protocols ospf area 0 interface vlan.xx passive

For the default route, use my example but change it to only match on the default route, like this way:

[edit]
+  policy-options {
+      policy-statement export_default_route_into_ospf {
+          term term1 {
+              from {
+                  route-filter 0.0.0.0/0 exact;
+              }
+              then accept;
+          }
+          term term2 {
+              then reject;
+          }
+      }

+ }

and apply this filter under the [protocols ospf export] stanza.

Dominik

Thank you very much for helping figure this out....

I'm now seeing the routes on the mkt-core switch for the remote office... which I've changed its config to look like this:

mitcha@pnt-sw01# show protocols ospf                   
area 0.0.0.0 {
    interface ge-1/0/2.0 {
        metric 10;
    }
    interface ge-0/0/0.0 {
        metric 20;
    }
    interface vlan.632 {
        passive;
    }
    interface vlan.652 {
        passive;
    }
    interface vlan.690 {
        passive;
    }
    interface vlan.622 {
        passive;
    }
    interface vlan.662 {
        passive;
    }
    interface vlan.636 {
        passive;
    }
}

However... in your example for the default route... on which switch to I put that...

I've put it on the mkt-core switch... it doesn't seem to be making a difference...

mitcha@mkt-core# show protocols ospf
area 0.0.0.0 {
    network-summary-export export_default_route_into_ospf;
    interface ge-1/0/1.0 {
        metric 10;
    }
    interface ge-3/0/8.0 {
        metric 20;
    }
}

mitcha@mkt-core# show policy-options    
policy-statement export_default_route_into_ospf {
    term term1 {
        from {
            route-filter 0.0.0.0/0 exact;
        }
        then accept;
    }
    term term2 {
        then reject;
    }
}

Hi,

not "network-summary-export" but just "export" under [protocols ospf]

Regards,

Dominik

THANK YOU!  been reading on this and it hasn't really made sense till now.

Its working, and for completness I'll repost what config I ended up with.

mitcha@mkt-core# show protocols ospf
export export_default_route_into_ospf;
area 0.0.0.0 {
    interface ge-1/0/1.0 {
        metric 10;

And the remote office switch:

mitcha@pnt-sw01# show protocols ospf
area 0.0.0.0 {
    interface ge-1/0/2.0 {
        metric 10;
    }
    interface ge-0/0/0.0 {

    interface vlan.632 {
        passive;
    }
    interface vlan.652 {
        passive;
    }
    interface vlan.690 {
        passive;
    }
    interface vlan.622 {
        passive;
    }
    interface vlan.662 {
        passive;
    }
    interface vlan.636 {
        passive;

}

Hi,

a great resource for how to configure OSPF are the learning books for the service provider track. You find them under:

https://www.juniper.net/us/en/training/certification/books.html

The first book gives you a good intro (chapter 6)
