[c-nsp] Connected routes / Static routes advertised to RR's

[CiscoNSP List]

Thanks Oliver - Yes, we do have selective next-hop tracking...another list member e-mailed me directly re this also...so statics need to be redistributed with the loop of the rr-client it resides on


I do have redistribute static in bgp, and the loop range is in the PL for redist static....and also a route-map for nexthop:


#rr-client

 address-family ipv4
  bgp additional-paths select best-external
  bgp additional-paths install
  bgp nexthop route-map BGP_NHT
  bgp nexthop trigger delay 0
  redistribute connected route-map LOCAL_RANGES
  redistribute static route-map LOCAL_RANGES
  neighbor xxx.xxx.76.212 activate
  neighbor xxx.xxx.76.212 inherit peer-policy TO_RR
  neighbor xxx.xxx.76.212 route-map FROM_GC_RR in
  neighbor xxx.xxx.76.212 route-map TO_GC_RR out
  neighbor xxx.xxx.76.213 activate
  neighbor xxx.xxx.76.213 inherit peer-policy TO_RR
  neighbor xxx.xxx.76.213 route-map FROM_GC_RR in
  neighbor xxx.xxx.76.213 route-map TO_GC_RR out

route-map BGP_NHT permit 10
 match ip address prefix-list PL_NGN_LOOPBACKS
 match source-protocol ospf 100
route-map BGP_NHT permit 20
 match source-protocol connected

So to advertise statics with the loop of the rr-client, I would need to add (And on all other rr-clients)

route-map BGP_NHT permit 30
 match source-protocol static

And clear bgp session with RR I assume (I havent tried the above, no access to the routers atm)

NB - route-map LOCAL_RANGES includes a PL with all our ip prefixes (Including all our rr-clients Loop IP's)

In addition, can you please include your RR BGP config? The next-hop is visible via a /30 route. Do you have selective next-hop tracking configured with route-map limit next-hops to /32s or something else which would require next-hops to be /32?
