AS Path Prepending not working - Cisco Catalyst 3560-X

trevor240
Level 1
Level 1

Hello everyone,

 

I am trying to get AS-Path prepending to work on my switch in my network but it isn't prepending the AS as it should be doing per the route-map. This is all within my home lab that I am also using to connect to the internet. I am peering with my two upstream routers and sending down a default route from both of those. The routes that you see with my own AS being prepended is the upstream router doing that. As an example Router A (172.16.1.1) shows the AS being prepended 5 times.

 

Here is my configuration:

 

show run | s route-map

route-map Failover permit 10

set metric 15000

set as-path prepend 64512 64512 64512 64512 64512 64512 64512 64512

route-map Primary permit 10

set metric 5000

set as-path prepend 64512 64512 64512 64512 64512

route-map Secondary permit 10

set metric 10000

set as-path prepend 64512 64512 64512 64512 64512 64512

 

show run | section bgp

Hello,

 

at first glance, it looks like all your BGP neighbors are iBGP neighbors ? AS-PATH prepending doesn't work for iBGP, only for eBGP.

On this switch, you are correct, this is all iBGP. 

Hello,

 

so none of the AS-PATH prepend route maps will work, since it is all iBGP:

 

router bgp 64512
!
neighbor Cox remote-as 64512
neighbor Cox route-map Primary in
neighbor Cox route-map Primary out
!
neighbor CenturyLink remote-as 64512
neighbor CenturyLink route-map Secondary in
neighbor CenturyLink route-map Secondary out
