Hi,
has anybody tried to establish an eBGP session between VRF's (not between vrf default and non-default VRF)?
I have leaked the routes and ping is ok. The XR router has the BGP configuration under vrf "Internet" and neighbor is in vrf "4ARBOR". Update-source is also in vrf Internet, and I have also tried to use update-source in vrf 4ARBOR but everytime it's says:
BGP state = Idle (No route to multi-hop neighbor) --- This is when I have BGP config between Loopbacks.
There is a route to bgp neighbor but next-hop is in different vrf. I thought that if ping is ok then there should not be an issue with BGP.
In case of eBGP configuration between directly connected interfaces it stays in "ACTIVE" state.
I know that this is somehow weird to use but the customer has this setup on Juniper where this is working fine. It's used for Arbor TMS.
I have found a discussion where somebody has done this on IOS with a similar config.
This is probably a limitation on IOS-XR?
p.s. I have two more options to solve this but I would like to know if this is possible with minimal configuration when the customer has to switch a user between Arbor protection service and non-Arbor protection service.
