Re: (Re)export unreachable routes via BGP.

TL;DR:  I got it working.

Well, you got me on the proper path.

I did some more searching, found how to enable some more logging, and 
discovered "rejected by protocol".  Which ultimately pointed me at 
another thread with someone doing the same thing as me:


Link - BGP rejected by protocol
 - https://bird.network.cz/pipermail/bird-users/2015-July/009807.html

I had to add "interpret communities off" my BGP neighbor session on the 
middle host.


I am now receiving the prefixes like desired on my end system (grant).

Thank you for your help getting me pointed to the correct path.

Hi,

I do not see a reason why unreachable routes would not be exported, 
works for me.


Okay.

Thank you for confirming that.

It is likely something completely different. Aren't both incoming and 
outgoing (grant) sessions IBGP? In such case they would not be forwarded 
due to basic BGP behavior (not forwarding IBGP-IBGP).


No, there are two eBGP sessions with Team Cymru and a separate eBGP 
session with my other device.


Team Cymru = AS65532
  Bird = REDACTED  (≠ 65532 ≠ 12345)
 Grant = AS12345

I was 98% certain that such is the case, and I have just confirmed.  I 
also changed the AS (from 65535, to 12345, for testing) between Bird and 
my equipment.  I'm not seeing any difference.


So I don't think my problem is that simple low hanging fruit.

Hi
