Route-reflector-client inheritance-disable

Hi Folks,
I found the command route-reflector-client inheritance-disable here, why do we use it.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/xr12000/software/xr12k_r3.9/routing/command/reference/b_rr39xr12kbook_chapter_01.html#wp1681856112
RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config)# router bgp 140
RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# af-group group1 address-family ipv4 unicast
RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-afgrp)# route-reflector-client
RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-afgrp)#exit
RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# neighbor 172.20.1.1
RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# remote-as 140
RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# address-family ipv4 unicast
RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr-af)# use af-group group1
RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr-af)# route-reflector-client inheritance-disable
I Will rate all helpful posts Thanks in advance

Hello Muhammad,
As document says:
The following example disables the route-reflector client for neighbor 172.20.1.1, preventing this feature from being automatically inherited from address family group group1:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router bgp 140
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# af-group group1 address-family ipv4 unicast
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-afgrp)# route-reflector-client
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-afgrp)#exit
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# neighbor 172.20.1.1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# remote-as 140
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# address-family ipv4 unicast
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr-af)# use af-group group1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr-af)# route-reflector-client inheritance-disable
Neighbor 172.20.1.1 si configured as member of group1. Members of group1 are configured as route-reflector-clients. But you want to disable neighbor 172.20.1.1 to become route-reflector-client so you need to configure route-reflector-client inheritance-disable.

BGP route-reflector next-hop issue

Hello,
I have a small GNS3 lab that is working with one exception: I cannot ping loopback0 on RRc2 and RRc3 from RRc1.
RRc1, RRc2 and RRc3 can all ping loopback0 on SmileyISP and RRc2 and RRc3 can ping each others loopback0
interfaces.
I am broken between the two route-reflectors: RRS1 and RRS2.
Given these conditions:
1) Do not configure any IGP.
2) No static routes
How do I get connectivity from RRc1's loopback0 interface to RRc2 loopback0 and RRc3 loopback0?
I used a route-map to set the next hop, but I am obviously doing something wrong.
I am providing relevant show command outputs, router configs, and the GNS3 topology.net config.
You will have to change the image and working directories to match your computer.
Not quite sure where I am going wrong.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

BD,
Ahh...
OK. In the original article, the author states that the final piece with the route map
NEXTHOP was supposed to fix the reachability issue. Obviously it doesn't.
After reading your last post, I looked more carefully at the output from 'sh ip bgp'
on each of the client routers and I realized that several of the next hop addresses were
wrong for some of the prefixes.
1) I completely removed the 'neighbor RouteReflectors route-map NEXTHOP out'
from both RR's. Then I ran 'sh ip bgp' on the clients and noted a change in the next hop addresses. Still wrong, but it changed.
2) I then tried next-hop-self from the RR's to the clients, but it did not change from where
it was after I completed step 1. I am not sure why there was no change. (actually, see the very end of this post)
3) I then applied my version of the route map: route-map NEXTHOP permit 10
                                                                             set ip next-hop peer-address
to the RR's with this: neighbor RRClients route-map NEXTHOP out
That fixed it. All three clients have as their next hop for all prefixes their respective
RR's (which is what they should have for this topology).
I have full connectivity everywhere, even loopback to loopback between all clients.
1) THANK YOU for pointing me in the right direction.
2) If I may ask, why did next hop self fail? More specifically, I saw no change at all
in the next hop for the advertised prefixes. Is it because next-hop-self should be used
for eBGP peers and all of the RR's and clients are all within the same AS?

Bgp Route reflector

Rt-filter or route-policy in a route-reflector

Hi,
I want to implement a route reflector that i will use in two differents networks with differents VPNL3. So i do not want that my route reflector advertise the prefixes form a network to the other. I am using an ASR9000 with IOS XR 4.3.2 as route reflector.
I tried two differents configurations in a testing enviroment and both work fine, one applying route-policy filtering by RD, and another using RT-filter. But i do not know what is better to implement on production. I will appreciate if somebody could help me to decide what is the best to implement in a production Network, thinking in the resources of the network and in the IPv6 deployment (i could not configure RT Filter with address-family ipv6)
With route-policy
rd-set RD_XXX
65000:*
end-set
route-policy to_XXX
if rd in RD_XXX then
   pass
else
   drop
endif
end-policy
route-policy to_YYY

Hi,
One benefit I see with rt-filter is, this feature provides considerable savings in CPU cycles and transient memory usage, generally this will be beneficial when you have large number of prefixes to be filtered, as you do not need to define route-policy for all the prefixes, and also it simple to configure (only one command )
Look at the Restrictions for BGP: RT Constrained Route Distribution in below document

Anybody can help me?
CLRGomes

Thanks, look my configuration:

6PE and route reflectors

I'm considering a limited IPv6 rollout using 6PE, and would like to know if the following configuration would be supported.
Our typical topology consists of customer aggregation routers connected to a pair of regional core routers. The cores are directly interconnected to other regions' cores via our long haul transport network. Our border routers are also connected to the closest pair of cores.
All the regional pairs of core routers are route reflectors, and the customer aggregation and border routers are route reflector clients of the closest pair of cores.
These are all 7600-class routers, and they're all running MPLS on the interconnects.
Can we use 6PE to exchange V6 routes between our dual-stack customer aggregation and border routers, and have those routes reflected through MPBGP sessions to the IPv4-only core routers?
customer_agg (dual v4/v6) ---> region1 core (v4 only) --->
<--- region2 core (v4 only) ---> border (dual v4/v6)
Thanks much...

Stafford, yes you can run 6 PE in you distributed RR topology. Only thing is even though your RR's need not be dual stack but they definately need to support V6 Address Family for peering with the border PE's and reflecting the updates received.
Do note that when you enable ipv6 address family it makes it a dual stack router even though you do not aggregate customers over ipv6 link addresses.(7600'shave support for this, so should not be much of a concern here in terms of support)
Here is a reference for 6PE configuration.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps1835/products_data_sheet09186a008052edd3.html
Other option which you can think of is rather than creaing a full mesh of v6 peerings, if your dployment is limited to certain PE's you may want to form direct v6 ibgp between them.
HTH-Cheers,
Swaroop

Route-reflector clusters

In a cluster of multiple route-reflector, is it necessary for the route-reflectors to be peers to each other? Does the use of the cluster id have any effect on this?

"Usually a cluster of clients will have a single route reflector. In that case, the cluster is identified by the router ID of the route reflector. To increase redundancy and avoid a single point of failure, a cluster might have more than one route reflector. In this case, all route reflectors in the cluster must be configured with the 4-byte cluster ID so that a route reflector can recognize updates from route reflectors in the same cluster. All the route reflectors serving a cluster should be fully meshed and all of them should have identical sets of client and nonclient peers.
If the cluster has more than one route reflector, configure the cluster ID by using the following command in router configuration mode: "
That is taken from
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/122cgcr/fipr_c/ipcprt2/1cfbgp.htm#wp1001965
But, if the route-reflectors are not meshed, can someone explain to me what could happen. Is this just a best practice, or a must configuration?

How can i route smtp client in multiple messaging store servers environment

In multiple messaging store servers environment, how can i route smtp client to the host which was specified in user's ldap "mailhost" attribute,just likes route pop client through mmp.
does mmp can do it? or any other idea?
thx a lot~!

So, you want to add a text line to some messages, but not all?
That's going to be pretty complex, actually.
First, if all your mail is text, adding a text footer isn't all that difficult, it's done through the conversion channel.
But filtering that, so you only do it for some users, isn't going to be easy at all.
If you can get your users to point their clients to a particular MTA, then you can add the tag on that mta, only.
Please note, that a text tag on a text mail is possible. Adding to an HTML mail is FAR more complex, and not a job for somebody not extremely familiar with MIME and building such.

Route Reflector

Hi
I have a Network with about 14 PE's and totally 800 vpnv4 Prefixes.
I thought about a design with redundant 7200 as Route Reflectors.
Now the question: Could i use two PE's (6500 Sup 720) as Route Reflector? So i wouldn't have to buy two 7200.
cheers patrick

Hello Patrick,
As you know that Route Reflectors as a concept is applicable for networks having heavy IBGP mesh, and also involves quite a burden on the processor.
Coming back to your question !!! Yes a couple of 6500 with SUP 720 can be used, you can try this new IOS release 12.2(17b)SXA.

Route Reflectors Design issue

Hi,
I am having this design issue with route reflectors and could use some help.
I have 18 routers fully meshed in an MP-iBGP session and i am going to introduce route reflectors into the network to minimize the total number of TCP sessions
My problem is that some of these routers have outboud policies with one another. for example i have a route map on router 1 affecting only router 2 and would like to keep it this way
is there any way to do that through route reflectors ?
Thank you
Hadi

Hi Riccardo,
I have 18 routers in a full MP-iBGP mesh topology. Some pairs of these routers have the following policy :
I have a route-map matching on Route Targets and i am setting the next hop to be different from the rest of the RT for that site.
This way, the prefixes originating from site A for example will reach site B with different next hops depending on how i set it in my route-map.
These policies are only between pairs of routers i.e. router#1 needs only to affect router#2
How can i achieve this using RRs
Thank you
Hadi

How do I access router setup page if the router DHCP service is disabled?

When I had DSL, my WRT54G was my DHCP master for my home network. When I got AT&T U-Verse, their "gateway" became the DHCP master and also the wireless access point. But the signal was not strong enough where I wanted to use it, so I hooked up the WRT54G again. I discovered that if I connected the U-Verse gateway to the "Internet" port on the WRT54G Linksys, then my home network was split in two, which I did not want. The WRT54G access point is physically somewhat distant from my wired computer, so I wanted to keep the U-Verse gateway as the DHCP master. (The U-Verse gateway is a router with four "computer" ports but no "Internet" port.)
I followed instructions on the Linksys web site, and using my wi-fi connected computer I re-programmed the WRT54G to be "Disabled" as a DHCP server. Then I powered down and physically connected the U-Verse gateway to a "Computer" port on the WRT54G. This solved my problem: my distant wi-fi computer now has a good signal, and both computers "see" each other.
However, now I seem to have lost access to the WRT54G setup "web page." Is it possible to access the innards of the WRT54G when its DHCP service is disabled? Or would I have to reset the device to factory configuration and start all over if I wanted to make any tweaks?

You can still access the router's web configuration pages even if the internal DHCP server is disabled and it is connected via a LAN Ethernet port to your upstream router.
Did you reserve and IP addresses on the Uverse router for static IPs?
If you did, assign one of these to the Linksys router (LAN) and you will be able to access it from your LAN. Since you are not using the WAN port, the Linksys router will not pull an IP from the Uverse router. You are using the device as a switch.

2851 router vpn to 851 router lan clients cannot ping

Greets - I'm expanding my lab experience by adding a 2851 router to my mix of 18xx and 851/871 units. Some of this infrastructure is in production, some just lab work. I have established good connectivity between 18xx's and 851/871's with IPSEC VPNs (site-to-site static and dynamic), but my problem is with adding in a 2851.
Setup: 2851 with 12.4 ADVENTK9, WAN on GE0/0 as 216.189.223.bbb/26, LAN on GE0/1 as 172.20.0.1/20 (VPN module, but no additional HWIC modules)
851 with 12.4 ADVENTK9, WAN on FE4 as 216.53.254.aaa/24, LAN on FE0..3 via BVI1 as 172.21.1.1/24
The two router WAN ports are bridged via a 3rd router (a Zywall with 216.0.0.0/8 route, with the router at 216.1.1.1) affectionately called the "InterNOT", which provides a surrogate to the great web, minus actual other hosts and dns, but it doesn't matter. As both my WAN addresses are within 216.x.x.x, this works quite well. This surrogate has tested fine and is known to not be part of a problem.
The 851 has been tested against another 851 with complementary setup and a successful VPN can run between the two.
I have good LAN-WAN connections on each router. I do have a "Good" VPN connection between the two routers.
The problem: I cannot ping from a LAN host on 172.20.x.x on the 2851 to any 172.21.1.x (eg 172.21.1.1) host on the 851, and vice versa.
From a LAN host, I can ping to my InterNOT - for example a dhcp host 172.20.6.2 on the 2851 LAN can ping 216.1.1.1 fine. I can also ping the 851's WAN address at 216.53.254.aaa.
To complicate matters, if I connect to the routers via console, I CAN ping across the vpn to the destination LAN hosts, in both directions.
This seems to indicate that there is a bridging problem between the LAN interfaces to the VPN interfaces. I suspect this is a config problem on the 2851, as I have had a similar config working on my 851 to 851 site-to-site setups. I also suspect it is in the 2851's config as I'm still just starting out with this particular router.

Note that the above are somewhat stripped-down configs, without firewall or WAN ACL's - interestingly my default WAN-Inbound ACLs seem to break connectivity when included, so I realize I have some more cleanup to do there, but the 2851 LAN bridging seems to be what I should concentrate on first.
I'm still googling some of the particulars with the 2851, but any assistance is appreciated.

Hi,
First,please delete NAT.If we configured the NAT in the RRAS,the source IP address in all packets sent to 192.168.1.0/24 would be translated to 192.168.1.224.
Second,please enable the LAN routing in RRAS server.To enable LAN routing,please follow the steps below,
1.In the RRAS server,Open Routing and Remote Access.
2.Right-click the server name,then click
properties.
3.On the General tab,select
IPv4 Router check box,and then click Local area network(LAN) routing only.
Then,announce the 172.16.0.0 network to the router.
To learn more details about enabling LAN routing, please refer to the link below,

Join AirPort Express to D-Link DGL4300 router in client mode not working

I only want to be able to stream iTunes to my AirPort Express via my existing network which is controlled by my D-Link DGL-4300 router.
My AirPort Express works as an iTunes streamer because I tested it running its own network (ignoring the existing D-Link network). I am trying to connect in client mode (I think), but my D-Link router just can't see the AirPort Express which seems to disappear off the radar after it restarts with the new settings.
This is what happens...
1. AirPort Express Hard Reset
2. Connect to Airport Express wireless network (which disconnects me from my D-Link DGL4300 wireless network “K1000578”)
3. Run AirPort Utility and enter “Assist Me” mode.
4. Set AirPort Express name and password then click continue.
5. Select “I have a wireless network and want to add AirPort Express or replace an existing device on my network” then click continue.
6. Select “I want AirPort Express to join my current network”
7. Select the name of my D-Link DGL4300 network “K1000578” from the drop down box, select WPA/WPA2 Personal wireless security type and enter the DGL4300 password, then click continue.
8. Click Update in the summary screen.
What happens then is...
MESSAGE BOX “Apple wireless device restarting. Please wait...”
MESSAGE BOX “Connecting to network ‘K1000578’. Please wait...”
AirPort Utility returns with a message advising that although the device was successfully updated, AirPort utility was unable to find it after restarting. It also suggests that I made need to reselect my network for the AirPort menu and try again.
My computer is now unable to even see the AirPort express device.
When I try to reconnect to my existing DGL4300 network “K1000578”, it says that the settings saved on this computer for the network do not match the requirements of the network. !! ***!!
I can fix the last part above by deleting the connection information for my DGL4300 and searching for it again. BUT HOW ON EARTH DO I CONNECT MY AIRPORT EXPRESS TO MY NETWORK?!!
I am able to connect my PC directly to the AirPort Express (if I set it up as its own network) and successfully stream iTunes, but this means I have to disconnect from my DGL4300 network also which means I won’t get internet on that machine and I can’t use my iPhone Remote App.
This is my second experience with Apples “it just works” philosophy. MobileMe was my first. Guess how I’m feeling!
Any help at all is kindly appreciated.

I forgot to mention, I have turned off the MAC address filters on my router, so that's not the cause.

Client side disabling of Outlook anywhere in Outlook 2013

Hi
Our admins recently had to disable external access for Outlook while keeping ActiveSync for Mobile Clients working. This was done by placing the autodiscover service (autodiscover.ourexternaldomain.com) behind a TMG with two factor authentication, and also
putting our mail.ourexternaldomain.com behind the same TMG. So, Outlook from outside the network can't connect anymore (it will show you the login/pass prompt but what it wants is the two factor credentials, not your domain credentials.. so essentially you
can't connect anymore), and mobile client still work.
In addition, they've disabled the "Outlook anywhere" options (specifically, "Connect to Microsoft Exchange using HTTP" is not only grayed out, it is forced disabled) by GPO.
Unfortunately, that doesn't work for the handful that's already using Outlook 2013. There, even when the "Connect to Microsoft Exchange using HTTP" option is unchecked, the client will query autodiscover.ourexternaldomain.com, and eventually gets
the response containing not only the EXCH protocol (which contains the internal urls), but also the EXPR protocol containing the public urls. That in turn re-enables "Connect to Microsoft Exchange using HTTP", so now clients, even when inside the
organization will try to access the mail.ourexternaldomain.com which is behind the TMG, resulting in perpetual login prompts being displayed (the login actually comes from the TMG, not Exchange).
So, is there a way to force disable "Connect to Microsoft Exchange using HTTP" for Outlook 2013, preferably without changing anything on Exchange and the GPO. I guess I'm looking for the registry key that is set for outlook 2010. I checked up on
the GPO for Outlook 2010 and it seems it sets HKCU/Software/Policies/Microsoft/Office/14.0/Outlook/RPC/ProxyServerFlags = 0. Doing the same for Outlook 2013 (so using the Office/15.0/Outlook/RPC key) results in outlook no longer being able to connect altogether.
When I manually remove the checkbox and restart Outlook, it first connects using the internal url, then after getting autodiscover it sets the checkbox "Connect to Microsoft Exchange using HTTP" again, and since the external url can be resolved
from inside the network, I get the password prompts again even from inside the corporate network.
Is there a registry key combination that keeps outlook connecting but never using the http proxy?

Hi Stephan,
How about the suggestion from Ed.
Feel free to contact me if there is any update.
Thanks

[SOLVED]dhcpd: sharing internet connection from router to clients

I can't seem to figure out (no wonderin, I am inexperienced with networking) how exactly you share an internet connection obtained by (authoritative?) router among a subnet of dhcpd clients? I was setting up pxe server (and i succeeded.. somehow) but nobody gave a reference to this specific problem. This guy http://igor.chudov.com/projects/PXE-Net … Of-Ubuntu/ wrote:
Expect to spend at least 1/2 hour figuring out good DHCP settings for your network. This is more complicated if there is another DHCP server on your network, as it often is the case.
and i don't quite get the catch. Someone willing to explain or give references?

It sounds like you are trying to configure your system as a router. You want to administer a subnet on one port, and act as a gateway to allow those machines to share your connection to a parent network on a second port. In this case, your address for the second port comes from the network to which you are attached and its DHCP server. Your machine, on the other hand, runs a DHCP server for machines downstream from your first port. You then act as a gateway and provide NAT services bridge the two ports.
Here is an article you should read from our Wiki.
