/24 route redistributed from OSPF to BGP even prefix-suppression configured

[Dan22]

Hello,

My question is about route redistribution from OSPF to BGP.

Below is my topology.

eBGP is configured between R1 and R2. OSPF is configured in R2-R4.

On R2-R4, prefix-suppression is added in router ospf context.

Redistribution is configured on R2 to inject OSPF route to BGP.

In BGP, I can see not only /32 route but also /24 route which is between R2 and R3 has been redistributed in BGP.

Router(config-router)#do sh ip route
Codes: L - local, C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP
D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area
N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2
E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2
i - IS-IS, su - IS-IS summary, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2
ia - IS-IS inter area, * - candidate default, U - per-user static route
o - ODR, P - periodic downloaded static route, H - NHRP, l - LISP
a - application route
+ - replicated route, % - next hop override

Gateway of last resort is not set

10.0.0.0/8 is variably subnetted, 7 subnets, 2 masks
C 10.0.12.0/24 is directly connected, Ethernet0/0
L 10.0.12.1/32 is directly connected, Ethernet0/0
B 10.0.23.0/24 [20/0] via 10.0.12.2, 00:04:31
C 10.255.255.1/32 is directly connected, Loopback0
B 10.255.255.2/32 [20/0] via 10.0.12.2, 00:04:31
B 10.255.255.3/32 [20/11] via 10.0.12.2, 00:01:37
B 10.255.255.4/32 [20/21] via 10.0.12.2, 00:00:12

May I ask why and how to avoid it?

Thanks a lot.

BR,

Dan

You need to post more information - what IP address each segment configured, what where is this output taken from what Router ?

Hi @Dan22 ,

This is due to the fact that this prefix (192.168.23.0/24) is local and attached to an interface that is owned by OSPF. If you may want to use a route-map when you redistribute OSPF in BGP to only include host routes (/32).

route-map ospf2bgp permit 10

match IP address prefix-list host-routes

!

ip prefix-list host-routes seq 5 permit 0.0.0.0/0 ge 32

!

router bgp 10001

redistribute ospf 1 route-map ospf2bgp
