Hello Everyone,

I'm new in BGP world and I just started practicing it. I've created my ISP(Doming) with 1 upstream(COGENT) and 1 customer.
I have a little issue on this setup.

Problem:
Upstream(COGENT) can reach/ping the customer (150.1.1.1) however customer is not able to ping the loopbacks of COGENT.


Overview:

COGENT to ISP(BGP)
ISP to CE(BGP)
OSPF as IGP
I use loopback to form BGP neighbor relationship between R1 and R2


Appreciate all your inputs and explanations for my better understanding.


Regards,
Eduardo

    On R1 enter neighbor 2.2.2.2 next-hop-self.

    I did some research however according to them by right next hop self shouldn't be used in IGP. but i will give it a try. thanks for your input by the way.

    Aside from using next hop self, is there any other approach i can use to resolve this?

    Using next hop self is the prefered method for this. You want your iBGP peers pointing towrads your edge router's loopback and find their way via IGP.

    You could also add the link between R1 and Cogent to your IGP as passive so the other routers in your network are able to resolve the original next hop.

    Hi All,

    I added the next-hop-self however the CE still can't reach to one of the loopbacks of COGENT. Did a trace and it stops at 10.1.1.1(R1) which is the point to point between R1 and R2.

    Appreciate if you could enlighten me what could have caused the problem.

    I only had a quick look over the configs but I don't recall seeing any network or redistribute statements under the global router bgp config or under the address-family ipv4 unicast.

    Are you expecting these to be advertised through BGP? If you are then they should be in the BGP table:
    # show bgp ipv4 unicast

    If they are there, are they being advertised but filtered on the other end?
    # show bgp ipv4 unicast neighbor x.x.x.x advertised-routes

    If you turn soft-reconfiguration inbound on then you can also see if you are receiving the routes but filtering them out of the BGP table:
    # show bgp ipv4 unicast neighbor x.x.x.x received-routes

    Hope those commands help

    Hi Irb,

    For CE, I used network 150.1.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 to advertise the prefix. For COGENT, i used the redistribute connted linked to route-map to filter which prefixes to be advertised.

    Both COGENT and CE can see the prefixes in their routing table not sure why CE is unable to reach one of the loopbacks. but Cogent can reach the CE.

    Regards,

    Ok, so you are pinging form the CE router? If so the default source of the outgoing ping is going to be the outgoing interface address of the 150.1.0.0/30 range. If you only advertised 150.1.1.0/24 than cogent doesn't know about the 150.1.0.0/30 network and no way to return the echo reply.

    Hi Sir,

    Thank you for that. Now i understand. Is there any other way I can reach to COGENT using the outgoing interface as a source? Or does CE side really have to advertise the point to point via BGP.

    Appreciate your advise on whats the best practice for this.

    Thanks and Regards

    Usually what happens in the real world is you have an IP range that you IP your links out of and just advertise that range to the world via BGP.
