Unable to ping IP of IBGP nei Loopback

[mahesh18]

Hi All,

Here is my Lab Setup

2691 is BGP nei to R4 router and they are not directly connected.

2691 and R4 are in same AS  6500

2691 Config---

router ospf 1

We can see that 2691 and R4 are BGP neis and 2691 has 200.1.x.x routes in its route table.

My question is why from 2691 router i am unable to ping any route learned by BGP from R4????????????????????????????????????????

Hi Mahesh,

2691Router# ping 50.1.1.0

Type escape sequence to abort.

Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 50.1.1.0, timeout is 2 seconds:

In the scenario, you are pinging the 50.1.1.0    0 is not a host address.  A host address would be 50.1.1.1, 2, 3 etc..

Hi Reza,

Thanks for reply.

I ping the correct host IP now still same thing

Mahesh,

On R4 try this:

ip route 50.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 null 0

under ospf

redis static

now, try pinging 50.1.1.1 and see what happens

[mahesh18]

Hi Reza,

I tried as below

R4(config)#ip route 50.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 null 0
R4(config)#
R4(config)#router ospf 11
R4(config-router)#re
R4(config-router)#redistribute static
% Only classful networks will be redistributed

R4#exit

Still no luck

Thanks

[Reza Sharifi]

Sorry Mahesh,

try this under ospf

redistribute static subnets

[mahesh18]

Hi Reza,

Did that still no luck

Thanks

MAhesh

[Reza Sharifi]

Mahesh,

Can you post sh run from both routers?

Reza

[mahesh18]

Hi Reza,

Sh run from both routers is attached to original post

Thanks

[Reza Sharifi]

Mahesh,

The config on the attached vs what you post above are different.  Below is the BGP config from r4 and it is different from what you posted in your first post

Also

on both routers under ospf can you add

red conn    

and delete

redistribute connected route-map FILTER

under BGP and test again?

router bgp 6500

no synchronization

bgp log-neighbor-changes

--More--          network 50.1.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0

neighbor 3.3.3.3 update-source Loopback6

neighbor 10.1.45.1 remote-as 5500

no auto-summary

[mahesh18]

Hi Reza,

I did as per you.

Now sh ip bgp on 2691 shows

2691Router# sh ip bgp
BGP table version is 16, local router ID is 3.3.3.3
Status codes: s suppressed, d damped, h history, * valid, > best, i - internal,

r>i200.1.4.0        6.6.6.6                  0    100      0 ?

Do u know why it shows r  now??????

Also sh ip route on 2691  shows no BGP routes but show as OSPF E2

O E2 200.1.4.0/24 [110/20] via 192.168.5.2, 00:02:32, FastEthernet0/1

     1.0.0.0/32 is subnetted, 1 subnets

O E2    1.1.1.1 [110/20] via 192.168.5.2, 00:46:04, FastEthernet0/1

     50.0.0.0/24 is subnetted, 1 subnets

O E2    50.1.1.0 [110/20] via 192.168.5.2, 00:02:32, FastEthernet0/1

Ping works now

2691Router#           ping 50.1.1.1

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 50.1.1.1, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/2/4 ms
2691Router#           ping 200.1.2.1

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 200.1.2.1, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/2/4 ms

So we have distributed connected subnets into OSPF and we still have BGP  neis but no BGP routes in sh ip route

of 2691.

Can you please explain above things

Thanks

Mahesh,

Q. What does r RIB-Failure mean in the show ip bgp command output?

R1> show ip bgpBGP table version is 5, local router ID is 200.200.200.1Status codes: s suppressed, d damped, h history, * valid, > best, i - internal,              r RIB-failureOrigin codes: i - IGP, e - EGP, ? - incomplete   Network          Next Ho...

A. When BGP tries to install the bestpath prefix into Routing Information Base (RIB) (for example, the IP Routing  table), RIB might reject the BGP route due to any of these reasons:

• Route with better administrative distance already present in IGP. For  example, if a static route already exists in IP Routing table.

• Memory failure.

• The number of routes in VPN routing/forwarding (VRF) exceeds the route-limit configured under the VRF instance.

In such cases, the prefixes that are rejected for these reasons are identified by r RIB Failure in the show ip bgp command output and are not advertised to the peers. This feature was  first made available in Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2(08.05)T.

here is the link:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk365/technologies_q_and_a_item09186a00800949e8.shtml

So, since these routes don't show up in your BGP routing table, you can delete the "red conn" under the OSPF and create static routes pointing to null 0 interface and advertise them that way

Here is link to follow:
