bgp issue urgent

[John Blakley]

I have a site that shares the same public block, and at that site I have a route map that sets a metric to higher than our current site. I'm trying to connect to the public side, but I randomnly get there and I know why.

The pertinent parts are:

int s0/1

ip address 6.6.6.1 255.255.255.252

access-list 10 permit 5.5.5.0 0.0.0.127

route-map ADV permit 5

match ip address 10

set metric 100

set community x:x

router bgp 5

network 6.6.6.0 mask 255.255.255.252

network 5.5.5.0 mask 255.255.255.128

neighbor 1.1.1.1 send-community

neighbor 1.1.1.1 route-map ADV out

The problem is that I have a Fatpipe that all of my links come into at my main site. The traffic outbound can go out any one of those links. I realize that when it goes over the second link, it's not allowing me to get to the router and I think it's my route map.

Should I also create:

route-map ADV permit 20

and leave it blank? I don't think the 6.6.6.0 subnet is getting advertised.

Thanks!

It is not and your deduction is the correct one.

Thanks Edison. I'll be fixing it tonight.

Good luck. Routes not matching ACL 10 were being processed by the implicit deny on such route-map. That will always get you :)
