BGP Conditional Advertisement Exist-Map Issue

[rick505d3]

Hi,

I am using BGP advertise-map and exist-map to conditionally advertise a prefix 10.10.10.10/24 from R2 to R1, only when R2 can receive default-route from R3. I am using "prefix-list" to match on desired prefixes.

R1 --- R2 ------- R3

!!!! R2 config snippet

router bgp 2
  neighbor 192.168.1.1 remote-as 2
  neighbor 192.168.1.1 advertise-map bgp-adv exist-map bgp-exist

route-map bgp-adv permit 10
  match ip address prefix-list bgp-adv
route-map bgp-exist permit 10
  match ip address prefix-list bgp-exist

ip prefix-list bgp-adv seq 10 permit 10.10.10.10/24
ip prefix-list bgp-exist seq 20 permit 0.0.0.0/0

R2 always sets the exist-map condition successful, the status is set to Advertise on R2 and R1 receives the 10 route. This is true regardless R2 has received 0.0.0.0/0 from R3 or not.

Now for the sake of testing, If I base the conditional check on a normal prefix say 20.20.20.20/24 on R2 (received from R3), the check passes only when the 20 route exists in R2's bgp table. 

The BGP conditional check works with a normal prefix but not with a default-route. Is this expected?

I am Lab'ing this in GNS3 on 3745 router and IOS 12.4(15)T14.

Regards, 

Rick.

Hello,

post the config you use with the default route...

Actually, post the full configs of R1 and R2 you use with the default route...

Hello,

I tested in GNS3 with and without a default route, results are as desired. Compare your configs to mine.

With default route:

R3

bgp router-id 3.3.3.3
bgp log-neighbor-changes
neighbor 192.168.13.1 remote-as 1
neighbor 192.168.13.1 default-originate
neighbor 192.168.13.1 soft-reconfiguration inbound
!
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 null 0

R1
