MP-BGP Router Reflectot (RR) Default Behaviour

Hi All,
I have a 7206VXR configured like RR for MPBGP (Afi/safi 1/128 L3VPN rfc 2547Bis).
My RR is configured with different peer-group towards its clients (PE).
I'd like to konw what is the RR's default behaviour when it receives an updata message type 'withdrawal' by its client.
I've observed that:
- When a PE send its update (withdrawal), it receive back by RR all its bgp table...with a lot NLRI that my PE doesn't need..Is it a normal behaviour?
- When a PE send its update (withdrawal), it receives back by RR its own update..I think that this is a normal behaviuor since he is configured within a peer-group on RR. Is it correct?
Many thanks in advance for your support.

Hello I'm trying to configure a lab with 4 7600-sup32-3b 12.2(2)-33.SRC. 2 of them as P routers and the rest as PE. P's are Route Reflector and PE are route reflector clients. If I create the same VRF in both PE routes are note not advertised between PEs.(show ip route vrf lab). Please could you give me a configuration example or a link where I could take a look.
Thanks in advance. Santiago.

EIGRP vs BGP route path selection scenario

I am looking for a routing solution to the following scenario. It is a fairly simple design.
I have two WAN connections between sites A and B. One is a 20 Meg Metro Ethernet Circuit running EIGRP. The other is a 10 Meg MPLS running BGP. What do I need to do in my configuration to make sure that the 20 Meg connection is the chosen path based off the fact that it has better speed and bandwidth? It appears to me that the MPLS is the preferred path even though it is slower.
See attached Diagram:

If each router is receiving advertisements for the same networks/subnet masks from both BGP and EIGRP it will always choose the BGP routes because they have a lower AD ie. 20 vs EIGRP 90.
Doesn't matter what the bandwidth is.
If you want to prefer the 20Mbps links then there are a number of options -
1) if you can summarise each sites subnets then advertise the summary via BGP and the more specific via EIGRP. More specific will be chosen even before AD is taken into account.
2) change the AD of either BGP or EIGRP so EIGRP ends up with the lower AD
3) run BGP on both links although you would still need to manipulate the attributes to make sure the link you want is used.

MPLS BGP routes push to DMVPN spokes

I have an MPLS with BGP. I also have sites that are not connected directly to the MPLS, but have a s2s VPN to hub sites that are connected to the MPLS and that way they access the MPLS resources. I need to communicate the route changes to the MPLS when the DMVPN fails-over to another hub.
Currently this is my config:

How to establish BGP Neighbourship without receiving BGP routes ?

Hi All,
I would like to establish BGP Neighbourship between my internet router and ISP router.
However I would not like my internet router to receive millions of bgp routes from the ISP router but my inside users should access internet via my internet router.
Kindly suggest how to do it.
Regards,
Mitesh Manwatkar.

Also depending on you setup with your ISP, you might not need BGP at all. Sometimes the ISP will advertize your public IP space (i.e. you don't need to), and if they do, all you need is a default route out.
PS:
Also BTW, often for basic ISP connectivity, even when BGP peering with your ISP, the ISP will not send you any routes but a default (because with a single link, there's no need for them).

Trouble getting BGP route to be primary

We have an MPLS network between locations using BGP. Several locations have a VPN connection as a backup and use OSPF for those routes.
When an MPLS link goes down, the traffic switches over to the VPN connection just fine. But when the MPLS link comes back up, the OSPF route is still overriding the BGP route. I've changed the weights for both BGP & OSPF but still can't get the BGP route to override the OSPF route.
Any ideas as to what I'm missing?

Hi,
IMHO, you should use the same Weight for both the BGP prefix redistributed from OSPF and received from the BGP neighbor.
And set other attribute (Local Preference, e.g.) to make the prefix received from the BGP neighbor to win when the MPLS interface goes Up again.
Another issue might be though:
When the MPLS interface is Down, you get the OSPF prefix redistributed to your BGP table, And when the MPLS interface goes Up again, you might be advertising this prefix to the backbone. And it can beat the prefix advertised from the remote site. If it's your case, I'd also try to prepend your AS number several times to the prefix advertised from your router to make it less preferred within the backbone comparing to the original BGP prefix.
Best regards,
Milan.

How can I use terminal to make links open in same window the default behaviour, as it was in Safari 5.0, How can I use terminal to make links open in same window the default behaviour, as it was in Safari 5.0

In Lion, the default of pressing a link on a web page, is to open the page in a new tab. In itself, I do like this because this is what I did for 19 out of any 20 links, which I command+clicked in previous Safari versions.
However, there is a snag to this behaviour. Most (all?) secure site do not like links to be opened in a new tab. For example, when I am doing Web banking, The the linked page doesn’t open in new tab. Rather I get a page telling me my login session is expired. Probably a security measure instituted by my bank.
I since found out, that a command-click opens lings in the same window. Theoretically that solves the problem, if I would think about this all the time. I don't. Old habits die slowly.
Is there a terminal command to make links open in same window the default behaviour, as it was in Safari 5.0.

Hi Eric,
I got it figured out today, basically you have to load the Parallel Flash Loader first into FPGA ram. It is a special .sof file (pfl_epXXXX.sof) based on your FPGA. Code is actually pretty straight forward, using the Sys Exec VI. Use the windows based programmer to generate the .cdf file that identifies your FPGA, attached Flash and .pof file .
Syntax was odd going into Sys Exec. Note the extra "C" in in front of the "quartus_prm.exe" I have no idea why that was needed, but I was getting an error until I just happened to put it in there (Blind Luck :-))
I used a 2 element array going into a four loop
cmd /cquartus_pgm.exe -c USB-BLASTER -m JTAG -o P;pfl_epXXXX.sof
cmd /cquartus_pgm.exe -c USB-BLASTER -m JTAG S_FPGA.cdf
Defining the working director C:\altera\12.1sp1\qprogrammer\bin
And added match string with "Successfully performed operation" on the output in the loop to make sure everything loaded correctly then adding the array to give me a overall P/F
To anyone doing this same thing Altera's documentation is poor to say the least. It took most of a week to figure this out Not allowed to upload code, so anyone wanting details just post here and I will try to help. This was painful, with lots of lessons learned.
Thanks for the interest though
Best regards John

Default behaviour of the Escape key while editing a cell in JTable??

Hi all,
i have a Jtable which get its data from an own model object which extends DefaultTableModel.
If i overwrite the isCellEditable(row, col) method within the tablemodel object and set a specific column to editable, then i notice while editing a cell in that column that the default behaviour of the Escape key is that independet from what you have entered before in to the cell the editing stops and the cell gets the value it had before editing.
This is the case for me even if i apply a custom editor to a column (one that extends DefaultCellEditor). It is just a JTextField that limits the number of digits a user can enter. Everything works fine. If the user edits the cell and presses ENTER or the "down arrow key" i can check what he has entered with the help of the getCellEditorValue() method. But if the user hits the ESC key after editing a cell this method is not invoked!!!
My question is :
is there any way to detect that the user cancels editing with the ESC-key.
this is very important for me because if the user goes editing the cell i lock the related record in the database, if i cannot detect this it is locked till the application terminates.
Thanks for any help in advance

I try override the JTable editingCanceled() ==> does not work.
I try the addCellEditorListener( CellEditorListener l ) ==> does not work.
Finally, I try the addKeyListener ==> it works.
Here is a quick demo. program:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
import javax.swing.table.*;
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args){
JFrame f = new JFrame();
String[] colName = {"a", "b"};
String[][] rowData = {{"1", "2"}, {"3", "4"}};
JTable table = new JTable(rowData, colName);
JTextField t = new JTextField(10);
t.setBackground(Color.red);
t.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() {
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
if (e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_ESCAPE) {
// do what ever you want ex. un-lock table
System.out.println("ESCAPE");
DefaultCellEditor editor = new DefaultCellEditor(t);
TableColumnModel colModel = table.getColumnModel();
for (int i = colModel.getColumnCount()-1; i >= 0; i--) {
colModel.getColumn(i).setCellEditor(editor);
f.setContentPane(new JScrollPane(table));
f.pack();
f.setVisible(true);

I have previously posted a question on a similar topic but this is more of a question related to BPC's capabilities, rather than asking for a solution to a problem.
Some threads on SDN are suggesting that the default behaviour for BPC (Financial Consolidation) 7.5 NW is to store the data using the accounting convention (i.e., negative for INC and positive for EXP). However, when reports are generated using the same data (using EVDRE e.g.), the sign is automatically flipped (i.e., INC accounts are automatically showed as positive while EXP are shown as negative).
Is this correct? If so, is any reference available to any SAP published documentation on this?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
I dont know whether there are any documents around this topic or not. But let me try to explain this a bit.
The flipping of signs is done twice - one at the time of sending the data to the database and second at the time of fetching the data from the database. Let me give you a very simple example. Lets say, we are posting the below records:
Revenue (ACCTYPE = INC): 1000
Expenses (ACCTYPE = EXP): 400
Theoritically, the profit should be 600. However, by design, we usually keep the profit as the parent of revenue and expenses, which means that profit will be 1400 (which is wrong). So, we change the signs. After posting the data to the database, the data looks like:
Revenue (ACCTYPE = INC): -1000
Expenses (ACCTYPE = EXP): 400
Now, the profit becomes -600.
When we fetch the data, the data should look like the original values. So, we again flip the signs. So, the data looks like:
Revenue (ACCTYPE = INC): 1000
Expenses (ACCTYPE = EXP): 400
Which is exactly what we had entered initially. Now, the concern is the profit. The profit is -600 as per the calculation. However, the actual profit should be 600. So, we keep the ACCTYPE of profit as INC.
Hope this gives you the idea.

Query on BGP route distribution

Hello Everyone
In the below scenario (GNS3), IBGP peering enabled between R1-R2, R1-R3, R2-R3 and EBGP peering enabled between R2-R4,R3-R5,R4-R6,R5-R7. OSPF enabled as IGP. Scenario attached for reference.
The problem I've observed in R1 is not getting entire BGP routing table for destinations 30.x.x.x/40.x.x.x.
I'm able to see only best routes in R1 BGP routing table, but alternate valid routes are not visible in its topology table.
R1#sh ip bgp
BGP table version is 81, local router ID is 100.100.2.1
*>i30.30.1.0/24     10.10.1.2                0    100      0 200 300 ?
*>i30.30.2.0/24     10.10.1.2                0    100      0 200 300 ?

*> 100.100.2.0/24   0.0.0.0                  0         32768 i
More confusing part to me is when I disable IBGP peering between R2-R3 or shutdown interface between R2-R3 or else if I disable ospf in R1,R2 & R3 routers , I'm able to see both best route and alternate valid route in BGP topology table.
R1#sh ip bgp

Hi Milin & Renan,
Thanks for your replies. To narrow down the problem, I’ve shut down the 40.40.x.x network.
Now between R2-R3, R3 is not advertising 30.30.X.X network to R2, but whereas R2 is advertising 30.30.X.X network to R3. Why R3 is not advertising 30.30.X.X (route via 200 400 300) to R2.

PBR Using Tracked BGP Route

Hello Guys,
My scenario is:
2 Sites interconnected by 2 MPLS Links and BGP between the routers.
I need some help to force some traffic to be routed using one Link based on Protocol or TCP Port.
But if the link goes down, I need the traffic to be send using another link.
I want to do a PBR using track that validates a specific BGP Route or BGP Neighbor.
Can someone tell me some tips for this case?
Best Regards.
Heleno Fagundes

Hi,
For your two concerns.
**2 Sites interconnected by 2 MPLS Links and BGP between the routers
Do you have some sort of network diagram ????
**I want to do a PBR using track that validates a specific BGP Route or BGP Neighbor.
We can always apply a track and an IP sla monitoring an IP address which the router is receiving from its BGP peer which you wish to monitor.
I am sure if you provide me sample diagram/config i'll be able to give some more descriptive answer.
Regards,
HK

BGP route advertisement

I am confused about which routes will a bgp speaker advertise to its bgp neighbors?
Will it advertise the bgp routes in routing table OR will it advertise the best routes from the bgp table (but not necessarily in routing table)?

Thanks!!
I thought so, but in Troubleshooting IP Routing Protocols book by Cisco press, it is stated that bgp router will advertise its routes from routing table, so wanted to confirm that that was indeed wrong.
On page 668, this is what is written:
One rule that BGP follows when advertising prefixes to other neighbors is that the prefix being advertised must
exist in the routing table of the advertising router.

Monitoring a BGP route and AS-PATH.

Hello.
I need to receive a SNMP trap when a BGP route, received with a specific AS-PATH, disappears from routing table.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Andrea

You can use EEM for this. Check out the cisco beyond web site for sample scripts that may help you do this.
A company that I used to work for, www.magnus.net had a mature EEM solution for doing this for large network environments. They took a standalone router and using EEM turned it into a route monitor. It would send out notifications when BGP routes of defined attributes like AS-Path diasappeared from routing tables. It was driven by an excel spreadsheet as inputs. It was written by a super CCIE engineer.

BGP router id change

Hi,
I would like to change the bgp router id on my router that dialogue with peers in other AS.
I will use the loopback interface 0 and I have a doubt about the ip address that I can use.
I think that can be a private address in a public addresses domain. Is it correct?
So, I think that it's better I'd implement the ebgp multihop command with the remote AS peers. Right?
Before I do these changes do I have to warn the other peers to permit to change their configuration?

Hello,
Changing your router-id will be effective after you reset your connections.
You can use a RFC 1918 address to suit your needs. Be careful not to leak the address to the Internet.
If you use the Loopback interface as a update-source you need to use the ebgp-multihop command for reachability. If you are useing it for a router-id only you should not bother to change the TTL in BGP packets.
It is recommended that you inform your peers about your plans.

Hi,
BGP Router process is in charge to determine the best path and processes any route "churn". It also sends and receives routes, establishes peers, and interacts with the routing information base (RIB).
(http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ip/border-gateway-protocol-bgp/107615-highcpu-bgp.html)
So I suggest to check what make this process working hard. Depending on that you can choose what to do: bgp dampening (if you have many changes in advertisement received form a neighbor), tuning timer (if neighbor is flapping), using peer-group / update-groups to reduce the amount of job your BGP process has to do to process updates etc...
