Re: asymmetric routing

Hi Marc

Thanks yes because firewall see's half conversation it is dropping traffic.

Ok what I'm seeing on my RR is this

SW1 clients are CE1 & SW2
SW2 clients are CE2 & SW1

So in the bgp rib of both reflectors I'm seeing SW1 not seeing CE2 as a
valid path until the CE1>PE1 link drops

SW2 however is seeing both CE2 (local) & CE1's addresses as bgp valid rib
paths to the learnt source prefixes herin lies the problem

Is my RR design correct? I am using different cluster-id's within same AS,
but SW1 has it nailed on as in "I don't want to see the CE2 path as valid
until my CE1>PE1 link drops"
