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

[Mohammad Salbad]

1.1.1.1 is PE router id

so far we believe the issue is due to DN bit is set by the provider and
hence the external routes are not injected in the routing table...as per
Alberto Santos below reply to me:

" as expected in rfc4577, Type 5 LSA must set DN bit, if the router does not
set it, domain tag should be used instead. I believe the PE router is
setting the DN bit and because of the routing instance was config as VRF it
is not installing the route, I think you should change to VR type instead."

So I'm wondering if there is any way to ignore the DN bit for the external
routes received from the provider ospf link? That I don't want to keep the
instance type to be vrf NOT VR...

Hi Mohammad,

- Any route-maps preventing the prefix from being installed?
- How are you learning 1.1.1.1?
