BGP issue with default routes

Freddie Eisa — Mon, 04 Mar 2019 21:30:03 GMT

Hello,

I'm working on a practice lab and am having the following issue

I have a customer router connected to two different ISP routers. Each ISP router must advertise a default through BGP to the customer and one of the default routes must be prefered over the other. Given if the perfered route interface is shut down the other default route is inserted into the routing table and when the perfered default route interface it turned back on that path is used again. The catch is I cant alter the customer router only the the two ISP devices. I tried doing some route maps but im lost. I have deleted all my route maps and have posted the BGP portion of the ISP routers

router bgp 300

no synchronization

bgp log-neighbor-changes

network 10.1.3.0 mask 255.255.255.0

network 183.3.3.0 mask 255.255.255.0

network 183.3.4.0 mask 255.255.255.0

redistribute static

neighbor 10.1.23.2 remote-as 200

neighbor 10.1.23.2 default-originate

neighbor 10.1.23.2 route-map route-to-customer out

no auto-summary

router bgp 100

no synchronization

redistribute static

neighbor 10.1.12.2 remote-as 200

neighbor 10.1.12.2 default-originate

any direction or help would be benificial i have been on this for the last day or so.

One way to it is

Create a static default rote to null 0 in the less preferred ISP

Ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 null0

Ip prefix-list pref1 permit 0.0.0.0/0

Route-map default

Match ip add prefix-list pref1

Route-map OUT

Match ip add prefix-list pref1

Set as-path prepend 300 300

Assuming this config in as 300 router

Router bgp 300

Redistribute static route-map default

Neighbor customerbgp ip route-map out OUT

Thanks for the help but the issue I face now is once i shut down the perfered default routes outgoing interface and bring it back up the alternate default route stays in the routing table. I need to be able to shut down the perfered out going interface and bring it back and able to replace the alternate route in the customer device with the perfered route.

can you wait for 5 to 10 minute and see if dose show up through the preferred route when you bring it back

just to make sure the BGP route get converged

also you can check if the router is advertising the route to the customer router using the bellow command

show ip bgp neighbor 10.1.23.2 advertised-route

and see if the defaulte route got advertised or not

Marwan ALshawi — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 01:41:47 GMT

the other way is

remove the static to null0

remove the redistribtion and keep the AS prepend route map

add the default originate command

rest the BGP session and check the propigation of the default route

Ok I will go ahead and wait then for a few minutes, quick question though is the 0.0.0.0 next hop 10.1.23.3. suppose to only show the path as 300 since I made the changes on R3.

Marwan ALshawi — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 02:50:44 GMT

based on the change you made it has to show only through 12.1 not 23.3

can you please post the routers config three of them with ip bgp in each of them

BGP issue with default routes

Marwan ALshawi — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 03:15:34 GMT

because i do not have now a router to test it for you bellow are two methods to configure it in R3 and both aim to make R1 default route the preferred one

method one:

router bgp 300

redistribute static route-map default

neighbor 10.1.23.2 remote-as 200

neighbor 10.1.23.2 route-map route out

no auto-summary

ip http server

ip classless

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Null0

ip prefix-list pref1 seq 5 permit 0.0.0.0/0

route-map default permit 10

match ip address prefix-list pref1

route-map route permit 10

match ip address prefix-list pref1

set as-path prepend 300 300

route-map route permit 20

method 2:

router bgp 300

No redistribute static route-map default

neighbor 10.1.23.2 default-originate
neighbor 10.1.23.2 route-map route out

ip prefix-list pref1 seq 5 permit 0.0.0.0/0

route-map default permit 10

match ip address prefix-list pref1

route-map route permit 10

match ip address prefix-list pref1

set as-path prepend 300 300

route-map route permit 20

if dose not work post the following

from R2 show ip bgp when both links are up

and show ip bgp prefix-list pref1

and same when one of them is down

The output indicates the as-path prepend was not applied to the prefix while leaving BGP AS 300.

I tried your configuration as posted and it worked. Did you clear ip bgp * out on R3 after applying the route-map?

You should have the default route with two AS 300 listed in the path.
