I have a simple BGP lab set-up:
Rack and Topology
2950-A - MDF-Site A 10.252.1.3
3560-A - Edge-Site A 10.252.1.1
3560-B - Edge-Site A 10.252.1.2
2811-A - CE-Site A
2811-B - CE-Site A
2811-Carrier A - PE-Site A
2811-Carrier B - PE-Site B
2811-A - CE-Site B
2811-B - CE-Site B
3750 - Edge-Site B 10.252.2.1
3560 - Edge-Site B 10.252.2.2
2950 - MDF-Site B 10.252.2.3
I have iBGP running:
Site A
3560-A 10.252.1.1 to 2811-A 10.252.1.4 and 2811-B 10.252.1.5
Site B
3750 10.252.2.1 to 2811-A 10.252.2.4 and 2811-B 10.252.2.5
Then I also have eBGP running between:
Site A:
2811-A Loopback0 208.10.10.1 to 2811-Carrier Loopback0 123.1.1.1
and the scenerio continues.
Here are the configs for each device as it relates to BGP and routing:
Please see attached config.
Here is what I am trying to accomplish and it fails.
I just wanted to intiate a ping from my MDF to the test IP on the Carrier loopback100 (you will this reflected in the config)
However, I cannot ping this IP.
I can ping the serial IP on the 2811-A - CE-Site A but cannot ping the directly connected ip at the PE 2811-Carrier side.
From the CE-Site A router:
MONR001-A#ping 10.252.1.3
Type escape sequence to abort.

210.1.1.1 is a loopback for testing in the carrier network.
10.252.1.3 is the MDF switch

Hello Rick,
the problem is on the return path
CarrierA knows only one subnet from site A
but MDF switch uses
10.252.1.3 is the MDF switch
for this reason you can ping the ce side of the serial link
but you cannot ping carrier side of the serial link and also you cannot ping the test loopback.
being a C2950 L2 only it has only one possible source IP address for its ICMP packets and it is not known at the carrier router
CARRIER-A#sh ip bgp neigh 208.10.10.1 ro
BGP table version is 2, local router ID is 210.1.1.1
Status codes: s suppressed, d damped, h history, * valid, > best, i - internal,
r RIB-failure, S Stale
Origin codes: i - IGP, e - EGP, ? - incomplete
Network Next Hop Metric LocPrf Weight Path
*> 63.10.10.0/24 208.10.10.1 0 100 0 1000 i
Total number of prefixes 1
you have also a filter that allows it to accept only 63.10.10.0/24
Hope to help
Giuseppe
