ASR 9006 does not publish my network prefixes

[emendez1816]

Hello Friend, good afternoon, look, I am starting the configuration of an ASR 9006 and I have problems with the BGP out publication, since I receive prefixes without problems, the issue is to publish prefixes to my peer neighbors, I will share my config if you can help me.

prefix-set Locales
10.240.10.0/24,
10.240.11.0/24
end-set
!
route-policy pass_all
pass
end-policy
!
route-policy Locales-OUT
if destination in Locales then
pass
endif
end-policy

Hi @emendez1816 ,

These two prefixes (10.240.10.0/24 and 10.240.11.0/24) have to exist in the local routing table before BGP originates them via the network statements. They can be either received via a dynamic routing protocol or statically configured.

[emendez1816]

How do I configure them statically? for it to be published by bgp?

[Harold Ritter · Accepted solution]

Hi @emendez1816 ,

You could just configure static route to a specific destination or to null0.

router static

address-family ipv4 unicast

10.240.10.0/24 null0

10.240.11.0/24 null0

or 

router static

address-family ipv4 unicast

10.240.10.0/24 <next hop address>

10.240.11.0/24 <next hop address>

Static routes to null0 are normally used when you have more specific routes available locally.

Regards,

[emendez1816]

Thanks, I will try.

[emendez1816]

Last question, how do I generate the default route in bgp to send it to my IBGP peers?

What are the commands that I should use to generate the route of 0.0.0.0/0 ??

[Harold Ritter · Accepted solution]

Hi @emendez1816 ,

you need to add a network statement in BGP as follow:

router bgp 65000

address-family ipv4 unicast

network 0.0.0.0/0

and then add a static route for the default route.

router static 

address-family ipv4 unicast

0.0.0.0/0 <next-hop address>

or

router static

address-family ipv4 unicast

0.0.0.0/0 null0

You will also need to change the prefix-set Locales to allow the default router.

prefix-set Locales
10.240.10.0/24,
10.240.11.0/24,
0.0.0.0/0
end-set

remove policy OUT and try again, 
also please more info about the policy OUT, what is if destination 

[Harold Ritter]

Hi @MHM Cisco World ,

The configured outbound policy is fine. It only permits the two specific routes.

Regards,

[Javier Acuña]

Could you give me the output of the commands #sh ip bgp summary

# show ip bgp neigh

In order for you to propagate the network you want, you must configure the BGP family as follows
!
address-family ipv4
network 10.240.10.0
network 10.240.10.0 mask 255.255.255.0
neighbor 10.241.0.2 activate
neighbor 10.241.0.2 prefix-list default in
neighbor 10.241.0.2 distribute-list prefijos-CANTV out
exit-address-family

Hi Javier,

The network statements the original poster provided are correct. They are in IOS-XR format. What you are providing is in iOS format.

Hi Friend, 
I see many post about the Network and BGP and the why this network command not work in BGP?
the BGP is depend on RIB in advertise any prefix, if the BGP not see this prefix in RIB then it not advertise it to other BGP Peers 
BUT 
why we use Network for prefix different than RIB ???

the answer is aggregate, where one method of aggregate many prefix in to single prefix is through the
config this single prefix to NULL0 with static and then use Network in BGP with this new single prefix.

So what happened !!

many config the network for this new single prefix in BGP without  config the static and hence the BGP check the RIB and see there is no prefix and not advertise it to other peers.
