iBGP to eBGP advertisement

ajitkgiri
Level 1
Level 1

Hi,

I am preparing for CCIE. I have created a basic iBGP and eBGP scenario which is attached below. Overall I want to give you a brief idea about the diagram.

(1) R1,R2,R3,R4 are all running OSPF 10. All these routers are coming under AS65000. Even iBGP is running among all routers.

(2) R3 is the Edge router which has formed eBGP neighborship with R5 (Neighborship is formed over the link between R3 and R5).

(3) R5 belong to AS65100.

(4) R1 L0: 10.0.0.1/32 used for OSPF and L1: 99.99.99.99/32 used for iBGP advertisement.

(5) R2 L0: 20.0.0.1/32 used for OSPF // R3 L0: 30.0.0.1/32 used for OSPF // R4 L0: 40.0.0.1/32 used for OSPF.

(6) R5 L0: 51.51.51.51/32 used for eBGP advertisement.

 

I am very n into BGP. So may be asked some foolish question. Please pardon me for that. Now I want to advertise all my Loopback IPs (10.0.0.1/32,20.0.0.1/32 etc) to eBGP peer R5 (AS65100). Even Loopback of R5 also wants to advertise to all iBGP peer of AS65000. In order to achieve that from R5 I have advertised its loopback using "Network" command. even in AS6500 all routers are running iBGP, any eBGP update from R3 gets advertise to its all iBGP neighbor.

But problems starts when I want to advertise all my iBGP Loopback subnets  to R5. So I dont want to advertise (10.0.0.1/32,20.0.0.1/32 etc) using "Network" command from R3. Even I dont want to redistribute OSPF 10 into BGP 65100. So is there any other way to achieve the same goal.

I am attaching all my router configuration below.

Kindly let me know your expert suggestion. For more clarity I am mentioning some command output below.

Hello

At present the igbp peers see  ebgp routes next hop originating from the ebgp peer as per default - try setting R3

to advertise its self as the next hop for the ibgp peers and also set ospf admin distance to be higher than bgp.

R3
router bgp 65000
 neighbor 10.0.0.1 next-hop-self
 neighbor 20.0.0.1  next-hop-self
 neighbor 40.0.0.1  next-hop-self

 

clear ip bgp * soft

rtr1-4
router ospf xx
distance 201

If you don't want to use the "network ..." command or redistribute then there isn't really another way to achieve what you want if you want the specific loopbacks advertised.

You could either -

1) advertise a summary address from R3 to R5 which covers all your loopbacks but that would also include a lot more networks than just the specific loopback IPs

or

2) advertise a default route from R3 to R5 but that would cover even more

But as i say both of the above advertise far more than just the loopbacks.

Is there a specific reason you don't want to use either of the ways you suggest ?

Edit - a third alternative may be to use a "redistribute connected" together with a route map to match only the loopback interface under the BGP configuration on each router. I have never done this but it should work.

But it would be a lot of extra configuration and i can't really see any advantage to doing this.

Hi Jon,

 

Thanks for your quick reply. Without Redistribution  and Network command if you look at the R1 BGP table you can see below output.

 

R1#sh ip bgp
BGP table version is 104, local router ID is 99.99.99.99
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
* i51.51.51.51/32   5.5.5.2                  0    100      0 65100 i
*> 99.99.99.99/32   0.0.0.0                  0         32768 i

But moment I redistribute the OSPF 10 into BGP 65000. All 10.0.0.1,20.0.0.1 etc will appear R1's, R2, R4 BGP table with rib-failure. basically I want to avoid this scenario. Please find the command output.

 

R1#sh ip bgp

*> 99.99.99.99/32   0.0.0.0                  0         32768 i

So please let me know the best practice, because I am very mcuh novish into BGP. Please provide ur opinion how to solve this type of scenario.

Hello.

Per my understanding you need to redistribute on network (AS) edge router (R3 in your diagram) using route-map - to filter unnecessary prefix... and filter prefixes you announce via iBGP.

Hi,

The rib failures are due to the fact that these prefixes are known on the routers by OSPF with AD of 110 and so they can't be installed as BGP routes because iBGP has an AD of 200.But these prefixes will still be advertsied by BGP as long as they are considered valid and best and on the eBGP peer they will get installed as B routes.

Hi Cadet and Vasilli,

 

Thanks for your update and knowledge sharing. Now I got the idea.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your knowledge sharing. Now I understand the thing. Now I need few clarity. We can assume my scenario as well.

I am listing down my understanding below.

(1) In AS6500 all routers are configured as iBGP peer (full mesh). So any iBGP advertised subnet from these routers will directly advertised to any eBGP peer ( In this scenario R5 AS65100)??

(2) In order to advertise IGP routes from AS65000, do we need to configure "Redistribution". If not then we should advertise the IGP subnets using "Network" command from R3 to R5.

(3) IGP route will not directly advertised to eBGP peer although iBGP is configured among full mesh peer within AS65000.

(4) suppose if I want to advertise few IGP learned subnets from R3 to R5 using neighbor 5.5.5.2 distribute-list TEST out command.(Neither use of redistribution nor Network command under bgp 65000). Will it reflect on R5 BGP or IGP routing table? Does it work?

Now Please find the command output:
