Solved: BGP between 2811 & 3560

riedmueller · ‎06-16-2008

As a lab, I am trying to run BGP between a 2811 (running advipsvcs 12.4(15)T1) and a 3560 in L3 switching mode (running ipsvcs 12.2(25)SEE3). The two devices become BGP peers, but never seem to exchange any routes! The configuration is simple -- two different AS with several network statements each (the router has loopback addresses, the switch 2 ports configuring as no swi and with IP addresses). Here are the configs:

Router:

router bgp 6002

no synchronization

bgp log-neighbor-changes

network 108.4.0.0

network 108.6.0.0

network 108.7.0.0

neighbor 108.4.0.1 remote-as 6502

no auto-summary

Switch:

router bgp 6502

no synchronization

bgp log-neighbor-changes

network 100.1.1.0

network 101.1.1.0

network 102.1.1.0

network 105.1.1.0

network 108.4.0.0

neighbor 108.4.0.2 remote-as 6002

no auto-summary

I can't see how it could be simpler than that, but neither device sees any bgp routes. show ip bgp shows the session established and keep-alives being processed...but no route refreshes at all.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

The show ip bgp should be populated in the router with the routes received from the neighbor and its local routes.

The local routes are important as they are needed for advertisement.

You need to make sure you are matching the networks in the routing table so they can be added into BGP.

Per your routing table output and your BGP configuration, they are not matching.

For instance, in the router - you have /24 subnets for the interfaces but the BGP network statement does not contain the subnet information (mask).

For example:

Router routing table:

108.0.0.0/16 is subnetted, 1 subnets

C 108.4.0.0 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0

Your BGP network statement should be:

network 108.4.0.0 mask 255.255.0.0

Please post the routing table from both devices along with the bgp table.

show ip route

show ip bgp

Thanks

Certainly -- sho ip bgp is empty, so I added sho ip bgp summary...

Router#sho ip rou

Codes:

Edison,

That worked. I thought the mask information was optional in BGP...I guess not. I will obviously have to read some more.

Thanks

BGP works differently when you have no auto-summary in the config. If you leave this out then bgp starts to be classful and any routes in a class that match will allow the class to be advertised not just the specific.

If you put no auto-summary in the config then bgp expects to see the exact route in the routing table before it will announce them.

sdoremus33 · ‎06-21-2008

If you are using the no auto-summary option make sure you have a route in place that point s to dest Ex

Sh ip route

x.x.x.x y.y.y.y z.z.z.z

x.x.x.x= src

y.y.y.y sn

z.z.z.z dest

Make sure that the route matches the route in the BGP table and if not you will not see the routes under BGP

Basically there are two tables

1. RIB Routing table

2. BGP Table

for a route to be adv via BGP under these circumstances must have an existing route in the routing table and must match the route in the routing table

Ex.

In RIB

ip route x.x.x.x 255.255.255.0 y.y.y.y

if this is in place BGP should adv your route

To verify

type in the following

show ip bgp x.x.x.x

show ip route | i bgp
