Edison,

Here is my sh ip bgp from the remote router

Status codes: s suppressed, d damped, h history, * valid, > best, i - internal,
              r RIB-failure, S Stale

Thank you very much for the reply. I am looking into how to setup the redistribution into EIGRP now.

quick question

where this network located ( 192.168.5.0) ?

also can you make sure synchronization is disabled on all your routers

by doing under bgp

no synic

i think this network 192.168.6.0 in your HQ can you try traceroute to it from your reote site and see where your tracing stop

marwanshawi,

The 192.168.5.0 network is at my remote site.

I did have synchronization enabled on my data center router but have disabled it.

here is the output of traceroute from the remote site router to 192.168.6.9

traceroute 192.168.6.9

Type escape sequence to abort.

Edison,

I have implemented the commands that you have given me and I can access the local server resources at my data center now but I cannot access the internet from the pc's at the remote site. My internet connection is at my data center and comes off of my data center router where I entered in the commands that you provided.

I really appreciate the help you have given me concerning this.

thanks

tld

For internet connection, you need to inject a default route into BGP from the HQ router.

If you have a 0.0.0.0 in the HQ router routing table, simply go into the BGP process and type network 0.0.0.0

Verify this default is making it all the way to the remote router with the show ip bgp command.

At the remote router, you need to draw traffic from the LAN to itself by originating a default route from EIGRP.

Just add 0.0.0.0 to the prefix-list I gave you before, for instance:

ip prefix-list BGP-TO-EIGRP permit 0.0.0.0/0

And the default will also be redistributed from BGP into EIGRP.

Regards

Edison

Edison,

Thank you very much. this has corrected the issue I was having and I now know what I must do for my other sites.

marikakis,

When I setup EIGRP on the remote router again would I setup it only for the remote network instead of all 192.168.0.0 0.0.255.255 networks like it was setup before?

Thanks

tld

I don't see any problem with your BGP so far. My first post was a bit short because I wanted to stress the requirement for an IGP within each site. Edison went further and suggested redistribution from BGP to IGP. You can have the following things in mind:

1. You need an IGP within each site (intra-site routing) as usual.

2. You do not run an IGP between sites, but use BGP for that purpose (inter-site routing). In practice this means you do not activate the IGP on the interface facing the provider's BGP peer.

3. Because of 1,2 you need 'communication' of routes between BGP and IGP (so that routers internal to a site can learn about remote destinations).

The 'communication' from IGP to BGP is implicitly handled on your side by using network command under BGP process. The 'communication' from BGP to IGP can be done with redistribution from BGP to IGP as Edison suggested (preferrably using a route-map for better control of redistribution). If your topology within each site is very simple, you can get away with some default route pointing to each site's edge router (who has better knowledge of networks), instead of using redistribution. Default route might be easier to grasp as a concept, but needs one to be careful to avoid weird situations (such as loops).

Kind Regards,

Maria

p.s. This thread moved fast while I was writing this. Anyway, I hope this helps.
