All, I'm running a (slightly more complex) version of the network shown here:
http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/phil.mayers/NetworkDiagrams/photo#5064742915858918722 Important things to note: there are only 6 physical routers in this network. rtr-A and rtr-B are 6500s running MPLS L3 VPNs. The cisco implementation mandates that the BGP process "inside" the VPN be the same AS# as the other VPNs and the non-VPN. The network basically works; as long as I use "allowas-in 1" on the VPN and non-VPN eBGP peerings it's all good and the routes propagate between the VRFs and into the non-VRF. However, the two Junipers ignore the routes from the VPNs, presumably because they've got their own AS# in, though there's no logging in the (oh so awful) traceing. What's slightly odd is that the ciscos seem to need no special handling in order to accept iBGP routes with their own as# in - the "allowas-in" command is only needed for the eBGP peerings. Can anyone comment on the expected behaviour, any workarounds available to me (make the junipers accepts the routes) or any possible alternative techniques? Things I've tried: * remove-private-as on the firewall->nonVRF eBGP peering does not appear to work, presumably because we *are using* private as# at both ends. * Ciscos' "local-as" command on the vrf->firewall eBGP peerings does not appear to do what I expected: instead of masquerading the routes as e.g. 64582, is appears to *prepend* it. Comments appreciated. _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
