bgp additional path cisco XR

Hello All,

I have configured the following setup.

XR1 and XR2 has ebgp session.

XR1 and XR3 has ebgp session.

XR2,XR3, XR4 and XR5 are ibgp neighbors. XR4 is the RR.

 

                     XR1

              /.              \

         XR2                XR3

           \                   /

                 XR4

                   |

                 XR5

XR1 is advertising 1.1.1.1.

I have configure bgp additional path on XR4 and XR5 so that XR5 has multiple paths for 1.1.1.1.

exit

router ospf 1

int gi0/0/0/2
int lo0
exit

 

But still, I see only one path on XRV5. I am not sure what configuration am I missing ?

RP/0/0/CPU0:ios#show bgp ipv4 unicast

Processed 1 prefixes, 1 paths

 

Thanks,

Sachin

Hi @sachin30720041 ,

 

Make sure you configure the following:

XR2 & XR3:

router bgp 12
address-family ipv4 unicast
additional-paths send
advertise best-external
additional-paths selection route-policy ADD-PATH
!
!
route-policy ADD-PATH
set path-selection all advertise
end-policy
!

XR4:

router bgp 12
address-family ipv4 unicast
additional-paths send

additional-paths receive
additional-paths selection route-policy ADD-PATH
!
!
route-policy ADD-PATH
set path-selection all advertise
end-policy
!
