BGPv6

[LLPMRCISCO]

Greetings,

I have weird problem for me, which could be very simple for somebody else. I'm not new with IPv6, however I am quite new with BGP.

Here is the scenario:

I establish IPv6 bgp neighbor, see all the routes, can ping IPv6 internet all from the routers outside interface. However, I can not ping it from inside interface. I can ping static defined IPv6 routes from inside interface.

On this router I am running IPv4 and IPv6, however BGP is only for IPv6.

My site prefix is:

2001:67C:1328::/48 , BGP neighbour is 2A01:260:1::210.

Here is the IPv6 configuration: I deleted rest of the config regarding IPv4.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

just to clarify, the 'outside' interface that gives you access to exernal IPv6 address is the VLAN3 SVI? Which 'inside' interface are you attempting to ping from?

cheers,

Seb.

[LLPMRCISCO]

Thank you for interest.

Yes, VLAN 3 SVI gives external access. I am attempting to ping from IPv6 address from the router (2001:67C:1328:67::2/64) .

Ping 2001:4860:4860::8888 (google dns) works, Ping 2001:4860:4860::8888 source 2001:67C:1328:67::2 does not work.

Ping to neighbor 2A01:260:1::210 works even from the inside ( I believe because of the static IPv6 route).

Hi,

I looked up your prefix (2001:67C:1328::/48) from several looking glass servers on the Internet and could not find it. It does not appear that your prefix is properly propagated. Your configuration looks good, except for the fact that you advertise the default route to your ISP ("neighbor 2A01:260:1::210 default-originate"). The issue might be with your ISP.

Can you post the output for the following command:

show bgp ipv6 unicast neighbor 2A01:260:1::210 advertised-routes

Regards

HI,

My first configuration was without default originate (did not work as well), this is someting I added just for trying purposes. Have deleted this command now.

This is output:

It looks good. You are definitely advertising your prefix to your ISP. You need to talk to your ISP to find out why your prefix does not seem to make it to the Internet.

Problem solved, ISP fault.
