Configuring ORR in IOS XRv

j.restaino
Level 1
Level 1

Hi,


I am trying to configuring ORR in IOS XRv according the documentation in https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/routers/virtual-routers/configuration/guide/b-xrv9k-cg/b-xrv9k-cg_chapter_0110.html. I have a test network ensambled with IOS XRv 9000 Version 6.2.25, but i have problems when i try to replicate the configuration that is in the documentation optimal-route-reflection g1 192.0.2.2.

I have not the option to place the IP Address of the RR

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ASR-UY1(config-bgp-nbr-af)#optimal-route-reflection group1 ?
  <cr>  

Despite of that i try to configure, but the configuration fail

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ASR-1(config-bgp-nbr-af)#sho config
Fri Mar  2 19:31:10.023 UTC
Building configuration...
!! IOS XR Configuration version = 6.2.25
router bgp 65000
 neighbor 1.4.3.1
  address-family vpnv4 unicast
   optimal-route-reflection group1
  !
 !
!
end


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ASR-1(config-bgp-nbr-af)#commit

end

If anyone can help me, i will be very grateful.

No Problem..

 

we have a good document on this by Luc, however i am not sure how to make it externally accessible.

i made a mistake in my earlier post.

it seems vpnv4 is not supported for ORR

from an internal note we see the following

 

BGP ORR is supported for IPv4 Unicast and IPv6 Unicast
not supported for IPv4 Labelled unicast (VPNv4) 
not supported for IPv6 Labelled unicast (VPNv6)
not supported for  VPNv4 and VPNv6 support

Hi Jose,

 

this is a new feature to me, can we check if the optimal-route-reflection group is under the bgp address family? if possible can you provide your bgp config? i can try in our lab

 

router bgp 9730
 address-family ipv4 unicast
  optimal-route-reflection group1 1.1.1.1
 !
 neighbor 2.2.2.2
  remote-as 100
  address-family vpnv4 unicast
   optimal-route-reflection group1
  !
 !
!
end
!

Hi,

 

Thanks for your response, i try with a new clean config that i attach below and i have the same problem.

 

 

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ASR-UY1#sho runn router bgp

router bgp 65000

!
vrf Internet
rd 65000:65000
bgp bestpath as-path multipath-relax
address-family ipv4 unicast
redistribute connected
!
!
!

When i try to config below the address family without a neighbor or a neighbor-group i don't have this option.

 

 

 

 

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ASR-UY1(config)#router bgp 65000
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ASR-UY1(config-bgp)# address-family vpnv4 unicast
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ASR-UY1(config-bgp-af)#opt?
                                     ^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

And when i want to configure under the address-family but below a neighbor-group i do not have the option to add the RR IP, and when i try to commit without this option i have the problem that the commit fails with an error

!!% 'BGP' detected the 'warning' condition 'Invalid arguments'

.

Thanks for your time

José

from reading configuration examples can we try this?

router bgp 6500
 address-family ipv4 unicast
  optimal-route-reflection group1 1.1.1.1
 neighbor-group ANTEL_RR
address-family vpnv4 unicast
optimal-route-reflection group1

 

Thanks, i could paste this configuration. To be honest is a little bit confuse for me, to configure the feature in address-family ipv4, to be enable to configure the address-family vpnv4.

 

I will try continue the deploy in my network and test this feature more deeply.

 

router bgp 65000
 address-family ipv4 unicast
  optimal-route-reflection group1 1.1.1.1
 !
 address-family vpnv4 unicast

Thanks ...

Hi,

 

To be honest i recently have time to test in deep in my development enviroment, and i can make that the ORR works with VPNv4.

 

I follow the steps that the document https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ip/border-gateway-protocol-bgp/212881-border-gateway-protocol-bgp-optimal-ro.html and i add the configuration necesary to test vpnv4.

 

The configuration in my vRR is

router bgp 65000
 address-family ipv4 unicast
  optimal-route-reflection ppp 1.4.1.1
 !
 address-family vpnv4 unicast
 !
 neighbor-group PE
  remote-as 65000
  update-source Loopback0
  address-family ipv4 unicast
   optimal-route-reflection ppp
   route-reflector-client
  !
  address-family vpnv4 unicast
   optimal-route-reflection ppp
   route-reflector-client
 !
 neighbor 1.4.1.1
  use neighbor-group PE
 !

router isis backbone_Int
 net 49.0001.0010.0400.3001.00
 distribute link-state
 address-family ipv4 unicast
  metric-style wide
  maximum-paths 32
 !
 interface Loopback0
  address-family ipv4 unicast
   metric 1
  !
 !
 interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0/0
  point-to-point
  address-family ipv4 unicast
   metric 15
  !
 !
 interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0/1
  point-to-point
  address-family ipv4 unicast
   metric 15
  !
 !
!


And when i try to see if in the neighbor is applied this feature i can not see this.

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:RR-01#sho bgp neighbor 1.4.1.1
Wed Aug  8 15:58:45.109 UTC

I will be very gratefull if you can help me.

Thanks, you know if this feature is in the roadmap for VPNv4 and VPNv6?
