Hi,
So we are currently trying to set up one mgre interface instead of multiple gre
tunnel between two vpn machines and we are running against a problem with bgpd.
we have two machines, vpn1 and vpn2, we have set up an mgre interface on both
like this:
root@vpn1:~ # ifconfig mgre0
mgre0: flags=8841<UP,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1476
index 15 priority 0 llprio 3
encap: vnetid none
groups: mgre
tunnel: inet <public ip1> ttl 64 nodf
inet 172.29.1.2 netmask 0xffffff00
root@vpn1:~ # route -n show | grep 172.29.1
172.29.1/24 172.29.1.3 UCn 0 0 - 4 mgre0
172.29.1.2 <public ip2> UHS 1 21 - L 8 mgre0
172.29.1.3 mgre0 UHl 0 309 - 1 mgre0
root@vpn2:~ # ifconfig mgre0
mgre0: flags=8841<UP,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1476
index 15 priority 0 llprio 3
encap: vnetid none
groups: mgre
tunnel: inet 192.168.0.3 ttl 64 nodf
inet 172.29.1.3 netmask 0xffffff00
root@vpn2:~ # route -n show | grep 172.29.1
172.29.1/24 172.29.1.2 UCn 0 0 - 4 mgre0
172.29.1.2 mgre0 UHl 0 1295 - 1 mgre0
172.29.1.3 <public ip1> UHS 1 39 - L 8 mgre0
The tunnel is up and reachable:
root@vpn1:~ # ping -I 172.29.1.2 172.29.1.3
PING 172.29.1.3 (172.29.1.3): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 172.29.1.3: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=12.351 m
We then have a bgp session up as follow:
neighbor 172.29.1.3 {
descr "vpn1"
local-address 172.29.1.2
remote-as 64660
announce IPv4 unicast
announce IPv6 none
holdtime 25
announce all
}
Bgp tunnel is up:
root@vpn1:~ # bgpctl show
Neighbor AS MsgRcvd MsgSent OutQ Up/Down State/PrfRcvd
vpn1 64660 329 201 0 00:17:10 410
the bgp fib table shows the prefix received properly:
root@vpn1:~ # bgpctl show fib
flags: * = valid, B = BGP, C = Connected, S = Static, D = Dynamic
N = BGP Nexthop reachable via this route R = redistributed

But we can't see those prefixes added to the kernel routing table:
[email protected](master):~ # route -n show | grep "10\.1\."
[email protected](master):~ # route -n show | grep mgre
172.29.1/24 172.29.1.2 UCn 0 0 - 4 mgre0
172.29.1.2 mgre0 UHl 0 1445 - 1 mgre0
172.29.1.3 <public ip1> UHS 1 40 - L 8 mgre0
We don't see what we are missing here, of if it's a bug.
What else can we troubleshoot to make mgre work with bgpd?
Thanks,
Ben
