I am using quagga and FreeBSD boxes to achieve this: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ip/border-gateway-protocol-bgp/13762-40.html#conf3. Only change is that upstream provider is sending full bgp instead of the default route.

I have everything set up and working moreless correctly. However, I am having issues with few things:

  • when connection between R101 and R103 goes down, R101 doesn't send traffic over R102-R104 link. This is because, R101 doesn't have any routes R102 besides the one I am advertising. How should I can configure quagga to redistribute routes obtained via external peer over internal BGP session?

  • For advertising my networks, Quagga works until the moment I restart R101. Once, R!01 comes back and internal BGP session is re-established, R102 stops advertising anything to R101, but advertises to R104. Is this normal? After I restart quagga on R102, the advertising to R101 works correctly.

  • Can you made a "sho ip bgp" on R101 and R102??, You can put here the major of your configuration, on the way to clear our doubts about your conf.

  • I you can, also put R103 and R104 conf.

  • I don't have access to R103 and R104 (it's on provider's side). I will paste the configs shortly. "sho ip bgp" shows full bgp routing tablee.

  • Oh, i see, i was thinking that your conf was only for testing purpose. We will be expecting.

  • I have some things like AS number, peer IPs etc replaced with faked, which should be OK.

By the data that you give us, this one is an interesting part. Unless you had change the neighbors for your safety, and put the conf here, i think you need to explaind why your iBGP neighbor has the same IP address of your UPDATE SOURCE? This one is like if your iBGP share your same host. 

neighbor 1.1.1.1 description "R101 BGP interconnect"
neighbor 1.1.1.1 update-source 1.1.1.1
neighbor 1.1.1.1 next-hop-self
neighbor 1.1.1.1 send-community both
neighbor 1.1.1.1 soft-reconfiguration inbound

neighbor 1.1.1.2 description "R102 BGP interconnect"
neighbor 1.1.1.2 update-source 1.1.1.2
neighbor 1.1.1.2 next-hop-self
neighbor 1.1.1.2 send-community both
neighbor 1.1.1.2 soft-reconfiguration inbound

  • I am sorry, this was a mistake on my part. I double checked before posting the config. I actually changed the config for safety reason. It's supposed to be inverted. I'll fix it in the config.
