[j-nsp] OSPF external routes in database but not in routing table

[Mohammad Salbad]

Dear Experts

 

we have an MX router connected to a service provider network which provides
us with OSPF
L3VPN connectivity with remote branches.



at the beginning we used to have our connection with the provider into a
routing instance 
with type virtual router and we were able to receive external routes from
remote 
branches from our provider ospf link.

for special purposes we decided to change the instance type to be vrf in our
MX  router.

once we have changed the instance type to be vrf external routes received
through our 
provider connection are no longer in the routing table although they are in
the ospf 
data base????

 

Below is a sample of ospf database for one of the external routes which were
not injected in routing table

 

Extern   10.10.10.10   1.1.1.1   0x80003a74   893  0x82 0x347d  36

  mask 255.255.255.252

  Topology default (ID 0)

    Type: 2, Metric: 1, Fwd addr: 0.0.0.0, Tag: 0.0.0.0
