[f-nsp] L3VPN issue

Hi,

I'm a bit stuck with a pretty simple L3VPN lab config on CER2024.

I mostly work with Juniper and haven't configured MPLS stuff on Brocade
for edges. Though I have, but a couple of years ago :)

I just needed a basic lab setup to test a couple of things (not the
L3VPN itself) and it turned out I can't even get it up. I see the router
receives an update from neighbor but doesn't show anything about it.
Just silently ignores it. Moreover it does not advertise and vpn routes.

I even thought it could be a license issue, but the box has advanced
premium license, and I have checked some other MPLS stuff covered with
the license (Martini VLL) and it works just fine.

> SSH at cer.lab#sho version | i Lic
> License: ADV_SVCS_PREM (LID: rXXXXXXXX)

Could someone bother to skim through my output and check whether I miss
something really simple or it rather seem to be a software issue and
should be escalated to Brocade TAC.

BTW I tried IronWare 5.3.0c, 5.4.0a and 5.4.0b. So it seems pretty
unrealistic that such basic a showstopper bug can exist in three releases.

Here are some configs and diagnostics. Sorry, I know it's a bit too long
for the list :)

BTW, CE-PE link is OK, pingable etc.

Both peers are JUNOS based.

.11 is a Route Reflector, the .77 is a remote PE for this VPN. I first
started with just an RR but thought IronWare might dislike something
about Juniper's cluster ID or something and tried with a direct session.

I see the peers advertise VPN routes and CER receives it, but:

CER does really receive the VPN updates from the peers:

But no further sign of these updates:

LSP to remote PE is up and running (mpls ping is OK, Martini VLL works
across LDP LSP, etc)

(Also tried LDP and RSVP only config).

Zero routes received, zero filtered, zero sent:

At the same time plain IP and IPv6 routes are received through the same
iBGP sessions and work as expected:
