[c-nsp] route table lookup on leaking between vrfs

[Pshem Kowalczyk]

Hi All,


We have a setup with two vrfs (on 6500, sup720). Only some routes
(aggregates) are imported from vrf Internal to vrf Servers. Some of
the routes in 'Internal' are available through external eBGP peerings,
some - through connected networks. Vrf servers spans a few different
boxes.

And now the problem.

In vrf servers I have a route for 192.168.0.0/16, in vrf Internal
there is that route as well as a bunch of /24 for more specific
prefixes (received from different ebgp peers then the original /16,
but those don't get leaked into vrf Servers). When I do a trace from
one of the servers to anything in those /24 it always chooses the next
hop for the /16.

In non-vrf situation I would use next-hop-self before advertising the
/16 to all the other peers, that would force the lookup on the router
that knows about the /24s. Is there a way to do this lookup when the
routes are leaked between vrfs?

kind regards
Pshem
