I have the following network

CE1----OSPF------CE2

|                              |

|                              |

BGP(AS109)                    OSPF

|                              |

|                              |

PE1-------------------PE2         

|          ospf/ibgp      |

|          AS 9            |

P(RR)---------------------|

my goal from P is go to CE1-Lo0 via PE1

but it goes to PE1 - PE2 - CE2 - CE1

here the output of PE1

Hi Johnson,

I believe this is lab invironment and not production setup where you have to use BGP as PE-CE protocol on PE1 and OSPF as PE-CE protocol on PE2.

Now once you have two BGP route on PE1 VPN table, it will prefer route from PE2 over CE1 route because of lower AS-PATH attribute. To prefer CE1 route, you can set weight on PE1 router for neighbor 172.9.113.11 which will be locally significant.

Correct!

I did change the weight and it is the best path

But the traffic still goes to PE1 - PE2 - CE2 - CE1 instead of PE1-CE1

See the outputs below.

Hi,

you can determine it by yourself if you go through BGP best path selection algorithm and compare each BGP attribute between two BGP routes.
