Trying to learn Segment routing :)
I am trying to setup a SRTE ODN scenario as per the following topology
Currently
- AGG routers are receiving remote AGG vpnv4 routes with BGP next hop as remote AGG's loopback
- Local AGG routers has no routes to reach remote AGG loopback
- AGG routers are able to create SRTE ODN tunnel to remote AGG with the help of PCE controller
- As route to reach the next hop is not present in RT, BGP is not selecting the path as valid best path
Is it required to have a non-default route in RT to reach the remote AGG in order to make ODN working?
Here are the CLI output to present the scenario
No route to remote AGG (10.10.10.10) from local AGG (10.9.9.9)
