BGP Readvertise routes

Rick Morris · ‎07-10-2009

What is done to readvertise routes learned bia BGP.

For instance, I have 2 separate networks 10.1.1.0 and 10.2.2.0.

In the topology

CE Router 10.1.1.0 --- PE RouterA --- Pe RouterB --- CE Router 10.2.2.0

If CE Router 10.1.1.0 advertises its routes to PE Router A and CE Router 10.2.2.0 advertises its routes to PE Router B, how to the 2 PE routers send those routes to each other?

They are currently running BGP between the 2 PE routers. You can see in the sh ip bgp neighbor of each side that the routes are seen as iBGP but neither side can ping.

see previous thread:

I think this may simplify my last thread a little.

Hello Rick,

>> If CE Router 10.1.1.0 advertises its routes to PE Router A and CE Router 10.2.2.0 advertises its routes to PE Router B, how to the 2 PE routers send those routes to each other?

by using an iBGP session between them (PE1-PE2) under the condition that what you call CE1 and CE2 have true eBGP sessions with PE1 and PE2.

I mean:

CE1 AS number x

CE2 AS number y

PE1 and PE2 AS number Z

Edit:

I think it would be better to go on that thread where Jon has followed you and where you have provided full details

Hope to help

Hello Rick,

see the other thread I think I've found the issue.

Hope to help

Hi Rick,

lets name it CE1 , CE2 , PE1 , PE2:

1- CE1 advertises Network 10.1.1.0 to PE1 via Static, RIP, Eigrp , OSPF or BGP.

2- PE1 has Network 10.1.1.0 in its VRF table.

3- PE1 advertises Network 10.1.1.0 to PE2 as VPNv4 Network through its normal IBGP session.

4- PE2 imports Network 10.1.1.0 into the correct VRF table for CE2.

5- PE2 advertises Network 10.1.1.0 to CE2 through normal BGP - IGP redistribution.

6- CE2 gets Network 10.1.1.0 in its routing table.

7- Oppsite is correct for Network 10.2.2.0

Hope to help
