Here is the topology:
R1 [AS10] ----- R2 [AS256]------R6[AS256]
The network between R2 and R6 is 150.100.100.0/24. This network is advertised into BGP on R6 but not R2. Because this is a connected route, R2 does not install it as a BGP route. It does receive the advertisement however and propagate it to R1.
Here is the R2 config:
R2#show run | sec router bgp
router bgp 256
no synchronization
bgp log-neighbor-changes
network 150.100.25.0 mask 255.255.255.0
neighbor 150.100.12.1 remote-as 10
neighbor 150.100.100.6 remote-as 256
neighbor 150.100.100.6 route-reflector-client
no auto-summary
Here is the R6 config:
R6#show run | sec router bgp
router bgp 256
no synchronization
bgp log-neighbor-changes
network 150.100.69.0 mask 255.255.255.0
network 150.100.96.0 mask 255.255.255.0
network 150.100.100.0 mask 255.255.255.0
neighbor 150.100.100.2 remote-as 256
no auto-summary
Here is R2's BGP table:
R2#show ip bgp | beg Network
Network Next Hop Metric LocPrf Weight Path
*> 150.100.25.0/24 0.0.0.0 0 32768 i
*>i150.100.69.0/24 150.100.100.6 0 100 0 i
*>i150.100.96.0/24 150.100.100.6 0 100 0 i
r>i150.100.100.0/24 150.100.100.6 0 100 0 i
Notice the last entry has an 'r' next to it. This is not installed in the route table as a BGP route. It is already installed as connected. This is known as a RIB failure.
But the route is advertised to R1:
R1#show ip route bgp
150.100.0.0/16 is variably subnetted, 7 subnets, 2 masks
B 150.100.96.0/24 [20/0] via 150.100.12.2, 00:05:25
B 150.100.100.0/24 [20/0] via 150.100.12.2, 00:05:25
B 150.100.69.0/24 [20/0] via 150.100.12.2, 00:05:25
B 150.100.25.0/24 [20/0] via 150.100.12.2, 00:05:25
Now here's the tricky part. You can use the BGP suppress-inactive command to prevent RIB failures from getting advertised. But when I use it on R2 and R6 it doesn't work quite like I expected.
R2#show run | inc inac
bgp suppress-inactive
R2#
R6#show run | inc inac
bgp suppress-inactive
R6#
Notice here that R1 still has the 150.100.100.0 route from R2:
R1#clear ip bgp *
R1#
*Nov 23 13:59:37.379: %BGP-5-ADJCHANGE: neighbor 150.100.12.2 Down User reset
*Nov 23 13:59:38.039: %BGP-5-ADJCHANGE: neighbor 150.100.12.2 Up
R1#
R1#show ip bgp
BGP table version is 5, local router ID is 200.0.3.1
Status codes: s suppressed, d damped, h history, * valid, > best, i - internal,
r RIB-failure, S Stale
Origin codes: i - IGP, e - EGP, ? - incomplete

Anybody know how this command is supposed to work in preventing RIB failures from getting advertised in BGP?

Did you ever find out why??????????
ReplyDeleteNope. It would be nice to know though!
ReplyDeleteI can tell you why it's not working here.
ReplyDeleteFor this command to suppress RIB-failed routes, there's a second requirement: the Next Hop of the IGP/Static and the Next Hop of BGP received routes should differ for it to be suppressed.
Thanks. I got it to work now. I looked on Cisco's website for a bit & this is not mentioned that I could find. Anywho...thanks again.
