Wow - is this interesting....sadly it happened right as I got kicked off my
rental rack today....so I need the expertise of the group to help me
understand.....
Simple BGP topology......
R5(AS 200) -------------R2(AS 300)
I wanted to use a route-map to change the next-hop value of incoming routes
from R5 so that the next hop will be the loopback of R5. By the way - I had
best paths and everything was fine before trying this change....
R2#
!
router bgp 300
no synchronization
neighbor 136.1.245.5 remote-as 200
neighbor 136.1.245.5 route-map HOPPER in
no auto-summary
!
route-map HOPPER permit 10
set ip next-hop 150.1.5.5
After this config - the next hop does change - but now no BEST PATHs:
R2#show ip bgp
BGP table version is 7, local router ID is 150.1.2.2
Status codes: s suppressed, d damped, h history, * valid, > best, i -
internal,
r RIB-failure, S Stale
Origin codes: i - IGP, e - EGP, ? - incomplete
Network Next Hop Metric LocPrf Weight Path
* 205.90.31.0 150.1.5.5 0 200 254 ?
* 220.20.3.0 150.1.5.5 0 200 254 ?
* 222.22.2.0 150.1.5.5 0 200 254 ?
I try and get some details:
R2#show ip bgp 222.22.2.0
BGP routing table entry for 222.22.2.0/24, version 7
Paths: (1 available, no best path)
Not advertised to any peer
200 254
150.1.5.5 (inaccessible) from 136.1.245.5 (150.1.5.5)
Origin incomplete, localpref 100, valid, external
OK - so 150.1.5.5 is inaccessible from 136.1.245.5? My goodness - these
interfaces are on the same router! What gives? Could it be that
136.1.245.5is a Frame Relay interface that is not pingable from the
loopback address (
150.1.5.5)? OK - I know I am reaching - but I am tired after 10 hours on the
rack.....
Can anyone help?
