I'm working through a Confederation Lab for JNCIP-SP study
Why is r3 choosing that the prefix with the longer AS PATH is better ? I thought shortest AS Path was typically more attractive JNCIP book... https://www.juniper.net/assets/us/en/local/pdf/study-guide/study-guide-jncip .pdf on page 444 of 708 ...the topology is just one page prior... 4th bullet... - Configure r1 and r2 to redistribute a 192.168.100/24 static route into IBGP and ensure that all other routers forward through r1 when its IBGP session is up. ( i haven't done any tweaks on attributes yet to make r1 more attractive because i wanted to first understand why r2's path is preferred from r3's perspective even though it has longer AS PATH ) i wonder if this has something to do with it - "Inactive reason: Not Best in its group - Router ID" [edit] r3@lab-mx104:r3# run show route receive-protocol bgp 10.0.6.1 192.168.100.0 inet.0: 38 destinations, 41 routes (38 active, 0 holddown, 0 hidden) Prefix Nexthop MED Lclpref AS path 192.168.100.0/24 10.0.6.1 100 I [edit] r3@lab-mx104:r3# run show route receive-protocol bgp 10.0.2.6 192.168.100.0 inet.0: 38 destinations, 41 routes (38 active, 0 holddown, 0 hidden) Prefix Nexthop MED Lclpref AS path * 192.168.100.0/24 10.0.6.2 100 (65001) I [edit] r3@lab-mx104:r3# run show route protocol bgp 192.168.100.0 inet.0: 38 destinations, 41 routes (38 active, 0 holddown, 0 hidden) + = Active Route, - = Last Active, * = Both 192.168.100.0/24 *[BGP/170] 00:51:05, localpref 100, from 10.0.2.6 AS path: (65001) I, validation-state: unverified > to 10.0.4.2 via lt-0/1/0.32 [BGP/170] 00:50:56, localpref 100, from 10.0.6.1 AS path: I, validation-state: unverified > to 10.0.4.14 via lt-0/1/0.31 [edit] r3@lab-mx104:r3# run show route protocol bgp 192.168.100.0 detail inet.0: 38 destinations, 41 routes (38 active, 0 holddown, 0 hidden) 192.168.100.0/24 (2 entries, 1 announced) *BGP Preference: 170/-101 Next hop type: Indirect Address: 0x2bd4e80 Next-hop reference count: 6 Source: 10.0.2.6 Next hop type: Router, Next hop index: 874 Next hop: 10.0.4.2 via lt-0/1/0.32, selected Session Id: 0x158 Protocol next hop: 10.0.6.2 Indirect next hop: 0x2c68110 1048622 INH Session ID: 0x201 State: <Active Int Ext> Local AS: 65000 Peer AS: 65001 Age: 51:08 Metric2: 1 Validation State: unverified Task: BGP_65001.10.0.2.6+50172 Announcement bits (3): 2-KRT 4-BGP_RT_Background 5-Resolve tree 2 AS path: (65001) I Accepted Localpref: 100 Router ID: 10.0.3.4 BGP Preference: 170/-101 Next hop type: Indirect Address: 0x2bd4844 Next-hop reference count: 4 Source: 10.0.6.1 Next hop type: Router, Next hop index: 1099 Next hop: 10.0.4.14 via lt-0/1/0.31, selected Session Id: 0x152 Protocol next hop: 10.0.6.1 Indirect next hop: 0x2c68000 1048575 INH Session ID: 0x1fc State: <NotBest Int Ext> Inactive reason: Not Best in its group - Router ID Local AS: 65000 Peer AS: 65000 Age: 50:59 Metric2: 1 Validation State: unverified Task: BGP_65000.10.0.6.1+179 AS path: I Accepted Localpref: 100 Router ID: 10.0.6.1 - Aaron Gould _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
