OSPFv3 AF NSSA default-information-originate

Hi,
I'm having trouble injecting a default route into OSPFv3 AF NSSA using this config:
router ospfv3 1520
 auto-cost reference-bandwidth 100000
 address-family ipv6 unicast vrf CUST-1
  redistribute connected route-map SET-TAG-LOCAL
  router-id 100.64.20.9
  capability vrf-lite
  area 1520 nssa default-information-originate
 exit-address-family
ipv6 route vrf CUST-1 ::/0 2A01:79A0:3000:F8BB::5
The default route does not get injected into the database. I have to clear the process for this VRF for it to appear in the database:
ROUTER# sh ospfv3 ipv6 vrf CUST-1 dat | in ::|Type-7
                Type-7 AS External Link States (Area 1520)
 100.64.20.9     632         0x80000004  2A01:79A0:3000:F8BB::/125
ROUTER#clear ospfv3 ipv6 vrf CUST-1 process
Reset selected OSPFv3 processes? [no]: yes
ROUTER# sh ospfv3 ipv6 vrf I-ST-INSIDE-1 dat | in ::|Type-7
                Type-7 AS External Link States (Area 1520)
 100.64.20.9     1           0x80000001  ::/0
 100.64.20.9     1           0x80000001  2A01:79A0:3000:F8BB::/125
ROUTER#
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
A quick check of the config guide shows that their examples of default origination in OSPFv3 use the 'default information-originate' command, this can be tied in with a route-map, in order to match a certain condition. i.e. statement is configured under the process, not using the 'area' command.
1. create prefix -list matching routes (these form the matching condition)
2. create a route-map - with a permit statement matching the prefix-list.
3. default information-originate route-map [map name]

  • Ospf no summary and default information originate

    Hi all,
    I have very simple question and I would like to have your opinion.
    I can inject default route in to a nssa area in two way
    - no-summary (to be used in to the NSSA ABR or NSSA ASBR)
    -default-information originate (To be used in to the NSSA ABR)
    Doubts (alle the below query are referred to a nssa area)
    - Case no-summary: what will happen if the nssa abr does not have a default route?
    -Case default-information originate: what will happen if the nssa abr does not have a default route?
    - When do I have to use no-summary and when default information originate?
    -What is the benefit to use the following command area xx nssa no-summary default information originate?
    Thanks!!

    Hi,
    have a look at this document:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk365/technologies_tech_note09186a0080094a88.shtml#defaultnssa
    - no-summary (to be used in to the NSSA ABR or NSSA ASBR)-default-information originate (To be used in to the NSSA ABR or NSSA ASBR)
    - Case no-summary: what will happen if the nssa abr does not have a default route?
    A (summary) default-route will be injected by the NSSABR; the backbone area is supposed to have detailed routing information.
    -Case default-information originate: what will happen if the nssa abr does not have a default route?
    A default-route will be injected by the NSSABR; the backbone area is supposed to have detailed routing information.
    - When do I have to use no-summary and when default information originate? -What is the benefit to use the following command area xx nssa no-summary default information originate?
    The no-summary option defines a NSSA totally stub; the NSSABR doesn't translate Backbone Area's LSAs (more precisely: their corresponding routing-table entries) into NSSA summary-LSAs, instead it injects a (summary) default route. If you want the NSSABR to do the summary-translation and also inject a default-route, you can use the default-information-originate option. A NSSABR the will inject a type-7 LSA for the default-route, which is not translated to type-5. This option can also be used on a NSSA ASBR, but in this case a non-OSPF default-route is required and a type-5 translation is possible.
    [EDIT] :
    Perhaps this discussion is also helpful to understand some of the design aspects of different area types:

  • Using the OSPF default-information originate command with two ISPs

    I am working for a company that has two Internet circuits with different ISPs at two different locations for redundancy, and both Internet circuits run at different speeds. I'd like to be able to direct the majority (but not all) of the traffic through the ISP with the larger bandwith, but then failover all traffic to one ISP when the other goes down. We're currently using the "default-information originate" command, which fails over OK, but I haven't figured out how to do the load balancing. I'd appreciate your thoughts. Thank you.

    One thing that you could consider is advertising the default route as and
    external 1 route instead of an external 2 route(cisco default). If you advertise it as an E1
    route, all routers will take into consideration the cost associated with the
    default route to the router advertising the default route plus the cost of the
    default route itself. Whereas if it is an E2 route, the routers just use the
    cost associated with the external cost and not the path to get to the router
    advertising the default route.
    If you made the default route E1, then the routers closest to the advertised
    routers will prefer the closest default route and their preference could then be
    tweaked by adjusting the interface costs for the default route with a routemap.
    By using this method, you could then control which routers use which internet
    connection on a per router basis because you could control the cost the internal router
    sees for the path from the internal router to the ASBR advertising the default route. The
    path with the lowest cost will be prefered.

  • The default-information originate and blackhole

    I have read an article :
    (((1- The default-information originate OSPF routing process subcommand will generate a default route into the OSPF domain.
    2- By default this default cannot be advertised unless the local device actually has a default route installed
    in the routing table.
    3- This stipulation is added to prevent the case where default reachability is lost from an upstream peer, but default reachability is still advertised into the OSPF domain.
    4- An example of this case is as follows.
    Suppose that your OSPF domain has two or more connections to an upstream Internet provider. At these exit points from your internal network the border routers are learning a default from the ISP.
    5- Additionally these border routers are generating default routes into the OSPF domain by issuing the default-information originate routing process subcommand.
    6- Now suppose that one of these connections to the upstream provider is lost. If the border router with the lost upstream connection is still advertising default reachability into the OSPF domain some of the traffic will be blackholed.
    7- Instead the router with the
    lost connection should withdraw the default route from the OSPF domain, which
    in turn would cause all internal devices to reroute out a still valid exit point from the network))).
    Regarding to point 6 how does it make a blackhole ?

    Because the router still anounces default route into ospf domain, and the packets which prefer this route will be blackholed. because the link to isp is broken. and the router will drop these packets.but the packets those prefer the other default route will go through the second router cause its link to isp is still up.
    is it clear?

  • Saving "Default " information in contacts

    Hi All
    I'm hoping that someone has the answer because my fingers are starting to sting, this is the third time that I have had to go through the 150 contacts on my E71, and set the Default for Text Message, Call, email, Video call etc, It happened when I sync'd with Ovi.
    All my contacts are sync'd with Mail for Exchange, and normally I switch all the other syncs off because of this problem, the other night I noticed that Ovi didnt have the correct handset so I mistakingly sync'd it and it wiped all my defaults off.
    Surely there is some way of saving the default contact information? - on my backups - none of the default information is saved there either.
    Any ideas appreciated.

  • Modify the preference value of the default route

    Hi
    How to achieve the Below ? any configuration example?
    1)How to modify the preference value of the default route to be less prefered than OSPF External route
    2)how to redistribute the default route as type 2 external route
    3)how to redistribute the default route as type 1 external route
    thanks

    Hi Ibrahim,
    See below:
    1) Can you elaborate on this a bit? Can you explain, specifically, what your trying to accomplish? I don't think you can get a default route into the OSPF RIB that is not external as the default is injected as a Type-5 LSA (e1 or e2). If your talking about getting a router to use the OSPF learned default over the default router learned via some other source (e.g. static, BGP, etc), then it depends on the source because of the Administrative Distance when comparing the two defaults ( the one default learned via OSPF has AD=110, and the other default is AD=X, where X is the Administrative Distance assigned to the protocol).
    2) Use the "default-information originate metric-type 2" command under "router ospf" -- Note this is the default
    3) Use the "default-information originate metric-type 1" command under "router ospf" -- Note, you don't need this in Totally Stubby Area.
    4) For NSSA area you have to use the "area nssa <area_num> default information-originate metric-type <type>" router subcommand. Note your NSSA should have a Type-7 LSA for the default route

    Hi Marcelo,
    Yes this is normal, a default route unlike any other routes is not redistributed between routing protocols by default, in the case of BGP you have 2 options, either use a network command and make sure that the route is in the routing table (via EIGRP in your case), or use redistribute + default-information originate, you can test this by removing the network command and adding the default-information originate under the address family.

  • BGP default route advertisement - change preference

    hi guys,
    I would appreciate some assistance here. We have a primary head office & a DR site. Routers at both sites connect to our carrier for an IP VPN service using BGP. BGP configs on each router advertise a default route 0.0.0.0.
       #sh ip bgp neighbors x.x.x.x advertised-routes
          BGP table version is 358, local router ID is x.x.x.x
          Status codes: s suppressed, d damped, h history, * valid, > best, i - internal,
                  r RIB-failure, S Stale
          Origin codes: i - IGP, e - EGP, ? - incomplete
          Originating default network 0.0.0.0
    Issue is, some of our remote sites prefer the DR router path for traffic destined to internet.
    We are advertising multiple default routes to our carrier, and based on feedback from carrier, route with lowest MED is preferred.
    This brings me to what i need to change from my side. Need to change the route preference so that from our remote offices, only the route to head office is preferred with DR site the least preferred route. I know there are multliple ways of doing this, however keen to get input from the experts out there.
    DR site router has this BGP config currently applied:
       router bgp XXXXX
        bgp log-neighbor-changes
        redistribute connected
        redistribute ospf 1 match internal external 1 external 2
        neighbor x.x.x.x remote-as XXXX
        neighbor x.x.x.x default-originate
        neighbor x.x.x.x soft-reconfiguration inbound
        neighbor x.x.x.x route-map IMPORT-POLICY in
        neighbor x.x.x.x route-map OPI-route-advertisement out
        default-information originate
    Removing the  "neighbor x.x.x.x default-originate" is not an option, as we need to have the ability to failover to DR at any point.
    Thanks in advance & if you need any further info pls advise.
    Rama

    Hi Milan,
    Thanks. Answers below:
    Does it provide an MPLS backbone to you? YES
    Are you using the same AS number on all your sites or different ones? Same AS
    Any way, what about advertising the default route from your DR site with the site AS number prepended several times (5 times, e.g.)? That's the thing I am struggling to understand as the route-map OPI-route-advertisement already has it prepended 2 times. Shouldn't that be enough to influence which route is least preferred?
    route-map OPI-route-advertisement permit 20
     match ip address prefix-list xxx default-route
     set as-path prepend XXXXX XXXXX
    If your provider would permit that and hasn't configured his routers to ignore the AS_PATH length (as him a question), it should make the default route advertised from your DR less preferred within your backbone. Will ask.
    Given this, any other thoughts/questions?
    Thanks, Rama

  • ASA receiving two default routes to internet via OSPF

    I am trying to test something for a client.  If I have an ASA that receives two default routes to the internet via OSPF, will it load balance those connections?  I have a feeling the answer is 'no.'  If that is the case, would the ASA would be at least able use the second internet connection if the primary one becomes saturated?
    TIA,
    Dan

    Yes, I know that the ASA cannot have default routes on multiple interfaces.  Both of the default routes are coming into the ASA's outside interface.  There would be two routers and the ASA in area 0 for OSPF.  The routers would have the default-information originate command in their OSPF configuration to push the default route out to the ASA.

  • Cascaded network unable to access default gateway att 5031nv

    Hello -  I have a Cisco 3750 sitting behind an ATT 5031 NV.  The Cisco device has the following networks 'living' on it: 10.1.1.1 /2410.1.2.1 /2410.1.3.1 /24 All of these have DHCP pools living on the Cisco device.  The default gateway they had out is the IP of the SVI (mentioned above).  I am using OSPF between those networks - and they can all talk fine.  I am using the 'default-information originate' command to obtain default route information. I have port Gi1/0/3 on the cisco device plugged into LAN port 4 on the ATT 5031 NV.  Port Gi 1/0/3 is configured with a static IP in the 192.168.1.x network as follows:

    Hi ,
    With the cascaded router option, the purpose of that option is to pass over your static IPs so that your gateway handles the traffic. If you do have a set of static IPs available, the only thing you want to change is the cascaded router IP. The network address should be the IP of your router, so it would be 192.168.1.2 according to your setup. 
    If you are just trying to do a router behind router setup, you actually do not need to use the cascaded router option, and just putting it in DMZ should take care of everything.
    Hope this helps.

    I can't think of a good reason why a core router couldn't be an ASBR and inject the default route in the ospf domain. I have seen many customer doing it.
    The only way to inject the default route in ospf is to use the "default-information originate" statement. The redistribute static won't do it.

    Marius,
    You need to configure "mpls ip default-route" if you want to enable label distribution for the default route.
    Hope this helps,

  • Route Leaking between VRF:s (Shared services)

    Hi,
    I'm a bit confused by this setup that i'm trying to achieve.
    The setup is classic though, I have one VRF for education (EDU), one for administrators (ADM) and then a shared VRF (GEM) like this:
    ip vrf ADM
    description *** ADMIN NET ***
    rd 2:2
    export map ADM-to-EDU
    route-target export 2:2
    route-target import 1:1

    route-target export 1:1
    route-target import 2:2
    route-target import 3:3
    route-target import 1:1
    As you can see, i have also configured an export map for vrf ADM, which i'm then importing routes from.
    the Map looks as follows:

    Now, the thing is, the leaking is working, i can see the leaked route in the EDU routing table below,

    but i cannot reach it:

    Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 172.18.254.37, timeout is 2 seconds:
    Success rate is 0 percent (0/5)
    But if i run "debug ip packet" and the perform another ping, i get this result which i think is a bit weird? to me it seems as if it works.

    However, if i add leaking for 3.3.3.3 in ADM vrf like this:
    access-list 2 permit 3.3.3.3
    route-map EDU-to-ADM permit 10
    match ip address 2
    set extcommunity rt  22:22 additive

    Then it will work:

    So actually, my big question is, am i doing this the right or wrong way? i'm a bit confused.
    Sorry about the rant, maybe it will clarify some things for others who are confused, or maybe just make it worse!
    Some additional thoughts:
    Why can't i perform this ping, shouldnt this work?

    Thank you for your answer Aravala.
    Ok, so i think i'm beginning to understand this now after several hours..
    Below is my setup now, and it works, but the thing is that it ONLY works from nets that are actually configured on interfaces.
    What i mean by this is,
    i want to reach ONLY the ip 172.18.254.37(ADM net) from ANY adress on 172.19.0.0/16 (EDU net)
    so naturally i try and change the prefix list to:
    ip prefix-list 1 seq 5 permit 172.18.254.37/32
    ip prefix-list 2 seq 5 permit 172.19.0.0/16
    But this doesnt work, i would be very grateful if someone could explain why and how to get around it..! i dont want to define every subnet on 172.19.0.0/16 and at the same time leave all of the 172.18.254.0/24 network open.
    working setup:
    ip vrf ADM
