[c-nsp] IOSXE / route leaking between VRFs and GT

Sat Sep 14 23:38:53 EDT 2024

Hi Harold,

That definitely works and it's what I'm doing now. However, I'm looking for
a way to avoid having to add static routes for each and every mp-bgp route
I receive from remote PEs. The only two options that came to mind were:

1) leaking the route from the VRF to the global as shown below
2) running a routing protocol between the VRF and the global - iBGP won't
work as I can't define a per-VRF cluster-IDs. I'm also not keen on
redistributing mp-bgp routes into an IGP.

I can't get away without having VASI interfaces, because some of the dst
networks I need to leak are directly connected on the same PE router. As
such, these routes can't be leaked into the VRF without having a valid
next-hop IP (they must be one hop away).

Thanks!

Best Regards,
Vladislav
