Please send me your whole config... this should not work if you are using
default route on r1 if you don't
have done anything spescially

Subject: Re: BGP through PIX Question

 

Hi

I am not using anything special here.. but its working for me.

Its working when there is pix in between and without it.

the only thing I have when there is a pix is

 

inside outside

[R1]------[PIX]-------[R3]

 

R1 is peering with R3's physical interface.

R3 is peering with R1's NATED Ip.

 

and everything works fine in this setup.

 

The most important thing from Pert's question

is with pix and authentication enabled. Then things

are different. Without "pix + authentication", I mean

between routers with no routes other than default route

and authentication enabled, it works fine.

Problem is only when there is a pix in between and

authentication is enabled.

 

Yes, the policy routing idea sounds good. :)

 

Here I

Dont have any kind of route to the neighbor

I also tried with just routers and bgp authentication.

It worked fine.

Petr's email posed another scenario. Did you read it?

 

I'm responding to it.it's not a "one way works for all". We're all trying
to learn different scenario's here.

 

And the point is, if the opposite routers' loopback is translated to a
locally-relevant IP address, then you would not need a route.either way, I
think Petr needs to respond here.

Just think of it... this problem is not ther only for bgp trought pix, but
for bgp
in general, you have this problem even on two routers directly conneted
to each other, peering with loopbacks. with no natting what so ever..

 

I can tell you nat has nothing to do with it,,,

Responding to Petr's email:

There is a tricky way to initate multihop BGP connection WITHOUT using a
specific
static route :) Try to figure it out, it's not very complex, though
definitely "twisted" :)

So, is the answer "outside NAT"?

2006/12/11, Jens Petter <jenseike@start.no >:

Well, that is exactly what I said... But you will NOT get BGP to peer with a

default route over the pix. . You will need
a static route on r1 and on outside routers to peer this.. You can of course

also use dynamic routes but since this is between
two bgp AS you probably would use statics

This is what the debug would show on r1 if you use default route :

BGP: 2.2.2.2 <http://2.2.2.2/> open active, delay 9568ms

BGP: 2.2.2.2 <http://2.2.2.2/> multihop open delayed 19872ms (no route)

BGP: 2.2.2.2 <http://2.2.2.2/> multihop open delayed 12784ms (no route)

BGP: 3.3.3.3 <http://3.3.3.3/> open active, delay 9568ms

BGP: 3.3.3.3 <http://3.3.3.3/> multihop open delayed 19872ms (no route)

BGP: 3.3.3.3 <http://3.3.3.3/> multihop open delayed 12784ms (no route)

The session will stay in active if you use default route with bgp.

Here is a config, this is with two routers on outside of pix peering with
inside router

Subject: Re: BGP through PIX Question

My best loved part with BGP trough PIX is something like that:

R1-----PIX------R2

Reer R1 and R2 over BGP using loopback as sources. Do not let R2 initiate
the
connection. R1 has only the default route to PIX in it's routing table. Only
one
static NAT entry for R1 is allowed on PIX.

Oh yeah, dont forget to authenticate this session, of course :)

2006/12/10, Kal Han <calikali2006@gmail.com >:

how about just an access-list
---------deny tcp any any eq bgp

Thanks
