bgp inject-map

Balajee Muggalla · ‎01-20-2013

Hi,

I am trying to test bgp inject-map using gns3 and am facing some problem. I am using the following topology.

|R7 AS 1000|-----|R3 AS 1200|-----|R4 AS 1000|

R7 is sending some aggregate 172.16.0.0/16 to R3. I want to generate 172.16.9.0/24 along with aggregate and send to R4.

R3:

==

router bgp 1200

no synchronization

bgp log-neighbor-changes

bgp inject-map advert exist-map check

neighbor 10.1.2.4 remote-as 1300

neighbor 10.1.2.4 ebgp-multihop 2

neighbor 10.1.2.4 update-source Loopback0

neighbor 10.1.2.4 next-hop-self

neighbor 10.1.2.4 send-community

neighbor 10.1.2.7 remote-as 1000

neighbor 10.1.2.7 ebgp-multihop 2

neighbor 10.1.2.7 update-source Loopback0

no auto-summary

As shown above, I am seeing only aggregate on R4, not specific. What could be wrong with my config? Your help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Balajee

Hello Balajee,

Not tested this but can you try perfoming the inject-map on R4 instead?

something like this:

R4

ip prefix-list NETWORK permit 172.16.7.0/24

ip prefix-list AGGREGATE permit 172.16.0.0/16

ip prefix-list R3 permit 10.1.2.3/24 ( i am asuming this is a 24 bit towards R3 from R4)

route-map EXIST permit 10

match ip address prefix-list AGGREGATE

match ip address prefix-list R3

route-map INJECT permit 10

match ip address prefix-list NETWORK

router bgp 1000

bgp inject-map INJECT exist-map EXIST

so if i am correct - this is telling the router to check if the 172.16.0.0/16 exists and R3 is up then call the inject map and inject the 172.16.7.0/24

Hi,

according to http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/docs/ios/12_2t/12_2t4/feature/guide/ftbgpri.html

your config looks correct.

I suppose sh ip bgp injected-paths does not show the 172.16.7.0/24 prefix withion the R3 BGP table?

I guess there might be some bug in your IOS?

Possibly bringing a trouble with this feature while using eBGP multihop?

What about trying to use a simple peering using interface IP addresses?

Or removing the set community no-export command from your route-map?

BR,

Milan

Hi Balajee,

I see two things in your config:

1.

R3#show route-map check

route-map check, permit, sequence 10

Match clauses:

ip address prefix-lists: leanred --------------- it should be learned, the name of your prefix-list created

ip route-source prefix-lists: source

2.

R3#show route-map advert

route-map advert, permit, sequence 10

Match clauses:

Set clauses:

ip address (prefix-list) adver

community no-export ---------------------------- it should be removed here, if you want to apply the no-export community to apply it for the eBGP neighbor, put a route-map in the outbound direction.

For verification you can use: show ip bgp injected-paths

Hope this telps,

Jose.

Forgot to add....after making the changes suggested by you, it worked.
