Using "route-target import" only connected routes?

When using the route-target import, the only routes imported are ones directly connected on one of the other PE routers. How does one get the advertised routes and the connected routes imported?
PE1 -- PE2
|
|
PE3
Customer's remote site attaches to PE1 which peers to PE2. PE2 connects to Customer HQ.
Another VRF (100:110) provides a centralized service that will be used by several different customers. Some of the subnets for this shared service are directly connected to PE2 while other subnets are directly connected to PE3.
Since PE1 and PE2 were already peered, I thought all that was needed was an import statement to get the routes from the shared service vrf into the customer's vrf.
PE1:
ip vrf customer1
rd 100:105
route-target export 100:105
route-target import 100:105
route-target import 100:110
When I do a 'show ip route vrf Customer1' the only routes that appear are the ones directly connected to PE2. I then peered PE1 to PE3, creating a full mesh but no other routes appeared in the routing table.
PE1 -- PE2
\ |
\ |
\ PE3
I plan to use an export map and import map to filter the networks to the desired ones, but in this example, should not all routes be seen from the shared services VRF (100:110)?
Thanks!

Frank,
Performing the import on one PE doesn't cause that one PE to start advertising the imported prefixes to other member of the same VRF on other PEs.
If you want the prefixes from the shared services VRF to show up in the customer VRF on all PEs, you need to import RT 100:10 in VRF Customer1 on all PEs.
Hope this helps,

  • Route-target imports - scalable

    Hi,
    at the moment i´m using the following config for route-target imports:
    ip vrf NAME-0001
    rd 65123:1
    route-target import 65123:1
    route-target import 65123:2
    route-target import 65123:3
    route-target import 65123:4
    route-target import 65123:5
    route-target import 65123:999
    I would like the following:
    ip vrf NAME-0001
    rd 65123:1
    import map ALL
    route-map ALL permit 10
    match "ROUTE-TARGET" 65123:*
    But my config doesn´t work - even if i permit ANYTHING within the route-map ALL
    What´s the way to do this?

    The import map can be only used to further filter a prefix that has already been accepted by the "route-target import" statement.
    In a point to multipoint scenario, you could include the RT of the hub VRF on the spokes VRFs, which would alleviate the need to add new "route-target import" on the hub PE every time you add a new PE.
    In an any to any scenario, you could define a RT that is common to all PEs, which doesn't necessarily need to match the RD.
    Hope this helps,

  • Is it a bad idea to use a single read only Connection?

    I am developing a client/server application, where each client request executes in a separate thread. Currently i create a new Connection object for ANY database access. I am wondering if there is any advantage changing this, to use a single Connection object for read only access, but still creating new Connection objects for read/write access.
    Does anyone have any opinions on this matter?
    I am aware that if i go with this approach, and someone causes a SQL exception on the read only connection that it will be closed. Right now this appears to be the main disadvantage to this approach.

    I don't like the single, read-only connection idea.ack
    A single connection throughout the execution of the
    application has several security disadvantages. It is
    also less scalable. I've read other problems
    associated with it but I none come to mind at the
    moment.What are the security implications that you speak of?
    I think for the type of application i am developing,database security is not a concern, as all users are able to access the same tables.
    Basically in our application, the security is in the application domain, not the database.

  • Importing route targets

    Dear friends,
    Just to give an example, lets take vrf A (source vrf) and vrf B (destination vrf where we are saying route-target import) and let x:y be the export route-target used by vrf A.
    When i say route-target import x:y in vrf B, then what exactly am i importing?
    Am i importing only routes for directly connected networks on vrf A and static routes redistributed into vrf A?
    What about routes that are exported from other vrf's but set with the extcommunity that matches this route-target x:y. Are they also imported?
    What about the other route-targets imported into vrf A? Do they also land into vrf B?
    Thanks a lot
    Gautam

    Hi Gautam,
    When you configure  route-target import x:y under a VRF, you actually import into the PE VPNv4 table all the VPNv4 prefixes which has one of their RT set to x:y.
    To export a route, the PE needs first to add it into the VRF BGP table. So you need to redistribute those routes into the address-family ipv4 vrf sub-mode configuration. The way those routes are learned from the CE depends of the configuration: could be dynamic via BGP, OSPF,.. or static
    An imported route is never exported back to the backbone.

    Maher,
    Here's an example:
    router bgp xx
    address-family vpnv4
    nei x.x.x.x route-map localpref in
    ip extcommunity 1 permit rt 4000:1
    route-map localpref permit 10
    match extcommunity 1
    set local-preference 110
    route-map localpref permit 20
    BTW: if the route with RT 4000:1 had a different RD both routes would get imported in the VRF and you could set the local-pref using an import map instead of an inbound route-map on the VPNv4 session.
    Hope this helps,

  • How do you promote a static route over a directly connected?

    Hi all,
    I have a need for a static route to be used instead of a directly connected route. (Long story - involving firewalls and anti-spoofing.. but can go further if required)
    I am using a Cisco 3750 switch. I notice directly connected routes have a metric of 0, and the highest metric I can give a static route is 1.
    Therefore, how is it possible for me to make the switch use the static route and not the directly connected?
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Cheers,
    Ben

    Hi Rick,
    Thanks for your patience.
    Maybe I should start again.
    Initially we had 16 VLANs within the 10.0/16 address space. We have some Cisco 3750's connected by dark fibre accross a couple of kms and then lower access switches all hanging of these by some means. The network is flat.
    We have a checkpoint firewall hanging off one of the 3750s connected using a TRUNK port. The firewall has an IP address on all VLANs and is used to route traffic between VLANs based on its ruleset.
    So if I have a user in VLAN 10 who wants to talk to VLAN 20, they travel to the firewall, if a rule permits the access, the firewall routes the packet on to VLAN 2 and the switches deliver at Layer 2.
    The switches all have their default VLAN 1 disabled, and have an IP address on our management VLAN to allow us to manage the switches.
    Its quite important that this IP is on a secured management VLAN as we don't want just anyone being able to snoop switch logins etc..
    If we need to login to a switch, the firewall routes our traffic from whatever VLAN we are on to the Management VLAN.
    One of our VLANs (the Desktop VLAN) is quite large (approx 1300 hosts) and suffers a great deal from too much arp broadcast traffic.
    As we have a flat switched network across several kms, the cost of putting in routers to subnet this large VLAN is excessive.
    However, the 3750's we have are perfectly capable of routing between VLANs, so we decide to create a load of new VLANs instead of subnetting our large VLAN. We don't want to use the firewall to route between these new VLANs as thats just giving the firewall more to do, and previously all these hosts were on a single subnet, so we have no need for any strict security - at most we can use ACLs on the switches if we even need that!
    So far so good.
    With 1300 hosts, we obviously can't make sudden topology changes. Therefore we need to be able to route between the Desktop VLAN and the new VLANs.
    We therefore introduce the static routes between the firewall and the switches.
    So the firewall says:
    route 10.1.0.0/16 via Multilayer switch IP on 10.1.0.0/16
    The multilayer switch says:
    route 10.0.0.0/16 via Firewall IP on 10.1.0.0/16
    This allows routing perfectly between the Desktop VLAN and the new VLANs.
    However the moment we enable ip routing on the switches we break access between the desktop VLAN and the Management VLAN.
    A packet leaves the desktop VLAN through the default gateway on the firewall. This is then routed to the Management VLAN. The return packet doesn't use the Management VLAN default gateway (firewall), it follows the static route on the switch and ends up at the firewall on 10.1.0.0/16. This is subsequently dropped as the firewall knows the packet hasn't come from the 10.1.0.0/16 network, it originally came from the desktop VLAN on 10.0.0.0/16.
    It might seem we can define a route on the switch to say:
    route 10.0.50.0/24 (management VLAN) via 10.0.50.254 (firewall). However, this would result in all packets from 10.1.0.0/16 being dropped by the firewall.
    The other problem is that if we are on a new VLAN and want to talk to the management VLAN. The packet goes to its default gateway on the switch. The switch says - "I have an IP on the management VLAN, its directly connected" - therefore it ignores the static route, and passes the packet on its way. We have now bypassed the firewall, which is bad.
    Incidentally the return packets get routed through the firewall and dropped, as the original packet didn't come through the firewall, there is no entry in the state table for its return.
    I think if we turned off the management interface on the switch and managed it through the interface on 10.1.0.0/16, I assume everything would work. However, we don't want to do this for a whole load of other reasons I wont go into.
    Im sure there must be a fairly simple solution - I just don't have enough experience!
    Cheers,
    Ben

  • Port/Connection Routing through Share Internet Connection...need help

    Alright here's the situation: I have a Linux server that I bought for cheap from a friend and its upstairs in my bedroom. The router and dsl is downstairs and the server has to stay up in the bedroom. I don't have the cabling to run all the way up and thats tacky anyway. And linux doesnt have wireless support for my wireless card. Sooo I've turned on connection sharing with my new iMac that is in the bedroom as well and internet is coming through airport, while the connection shared with the server is wired. In airport, out eth0 to server.
    Ok, so what I'm wanting to do is experiment with multiple types of servers on linux (i.e. Samba, FTP, Mail, etc) but I need to figure out a quick fix on routing or forwarding those connections routes and ports through the mac to the linux box. The linux box has no problem reaching the internet and has its own static ip but is also showing up on network 192.168.0 when the rest of my network is 192.168.1
    Any third party free programs for adding advanced routing or easier setup and more features to the OSX internet sharing? Or maybe a tweak ya'll know of?

    Hi Aaron,
    flying buttress is a GUI for the UNIX firewall built into OSX. It has more functionality than the GUI in the sharing preferences.
    By sharing network connection from another mac it will be on a differnent subnet to the rest of your LAN. The mac that is setup as the gateway is effectively acting as a gateway like your router is. So therefore your linux box is behind 2 NAT devices. You would need to setup up 2 sets of NAT rules.
    This is quite an advanced setup for someone just experimenting.
    I don't have the cabling to run all the way up and thats tacky anyway. And linux doesnt have wireless support for my wireless card.
    Cable does not have to look tacky. It can be installed neatly if use use conduit or tack it to the skirting board. Also given that wireless cars cost about £20 you could easily get your linux box connected to your router.

  • Suddenly my ethernet and firewall are no longer connected. router is good...and can connect only using wifi...suggestions?

    suddenly my ethernet and firewall are no longer connected. router is good...and can connect only using wifi...suggestions?

    SOLUTION! 
    I've been suffering from this problem for a few months.  I tried everything suggested by everyone, and then, today, I had a mad idea. 
    I used to work in a room in the house that's about 12 metres away from the router. It's on the next storey up and horizontally about 8 metres away.  The problem started when I began to work in the same room as the router. 
    Today I became so frustrated that for some reason I walked into a room about 8 metres away on the same level - Guess what?  I connected with no problem at all. Feeling full of joy I walked back to the room where the router is located - Dropped internet connection within a few minutes!  Walked back to the the room that's 8 metres away and, hey presto! I have a connection. I now realise that the problem was that I moved too close to the router.
    I can think of no logical explanation for my experience, but empirically it seems to work.  Does anyone have the faintest idea of why this should be the case?  In the absence of an answer I think I may have to start believing in fairies at the bottom of the garden - I'm just off to set a meal for them.
    By the way, I don't know if it has any significance, but the router is a BT Infinity router that has replaced the incredibly unreliable Virgin Media cable connection

  • Import/export route targets from E-BGP ?

    hi all,
    a newbie question again,
    can i import/export rte target in a vrf from/to ebgp session,
    in all my readings i only see samples from import/export with iBGP peering
    thanks for answer

    Yes you can do it this way as well, without the MP-EBGP peering between the both AS's RR's. (You have missed the multi-hop neighbor statement)
    This will achieve the RT exchange between the PE's, so next you will have to import that RT on the other side.
    Once you have the RT with the routes exchanged you will have VPN labels as well populated for the routes on the remote side.
    Now you will have to implement a method to assign an IGP label on top of the VPN label (this label should be for the PE's loopback of AS 100 who advertised this route to AS 200)
    In your case, you can use the send-label command at the ASBR's for the IGP route of the PE;s in their AS' with a label. For this you can redistribute IGP into BGP and again BGP into IGP (with a route-map matching only PE's loopback in their AS and the remote AS).
    So you will effectively have 2 labels to switch traffic between the AS's (IGP and the VPN label).

  • I have Verizon FiOS service for phone, internet and TV but I only have one TV hooked up for it for just basic cable service with no DVR and no need for widgets.  Can I use an Airport Extreme as my router and not use the FiOs router?

    I want to use an Airport Extreme as my router.  I currently have a Verizon FiOS router.  I have Verizon for phone, internet and TV.  However, TV-wise, I just have a basic service for one TV with just a regular box.  No HD, no DVR.  Don't need access to a menu, widgets, on-demand.  Can I eliminate the FiOS Router and just use the Airport Extreme and still have phone and internet?

    I know that it will increase my wireless coverage in my house but will it increase the speeds?
    Not sure what you are asking here.  The AirPort Extreme is only going to be as fast as the Internet connection that it receives.....which is 75/75. It cannot take a 75/75 connection and make it go any faster.
    If you locate the AirPort Extreme in an area where you need more wireless signal coverage, the AirPort Extreme would deliver 75/75 in that area.  But, keep in mind that the AirPort Extreme must connect to the FIOS router using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection.
    If you are asking if the AirPort Extreme can wirelessly connect to the FIOS modem router, and extend the FIOS wireless network, the AirPort Extreme would not be compatible with a FIOS product for that purpose.

  • WRT45G: can only connect one pc at the time to internet, cannot login to router setup

    Hello,
    I don't get this. The complete network worked fine for ... years? After a call with the ISP about a general/different issue, we can now only connect one pc at the time to internet. (We were asked to take out cables and we've put them back).
    I've been trying and searching for an answer for hours.
    problem:
    We can only connect through the router to internet with only one pc at the time (the first pc we connect after starting up the router).
    Also we cannot get into the setup menu of the router at 192.168.1.1
    We've been trying to reset the modem for 10, 30 seconds.
    Auto resolve IP/DNS. DHCP is enabled.
    I also remembered that I pushed the SES button, it turned from orange to flashing bluish. I never knew aboutthis function, nor it is mentioned in the manual I downloaded. Now this SES indicator is off.
    Also WLAN and DMZ led are off.
    I downloaded EasyLink_Connect.exe, went through the setup. It recognises there's internet connection, but stops and says: cisco does not support this modem.
    Temp. replacing this WRT45G modem with another one did not resolve the issue.
    I have no clue what went wrong, what we did wrong, and how we can resolve this issue? Please help! Thanks

    Does this SES function configure anything other than the modem? So, does it alter PC configurations? I have no clue.   We even start to wonder whether the ISP is able to set up their internet in a way that unables us to make use of a router? That would be ridiculous

    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.

  • Extend Wireless Network using a Telstra technicolor Gateway wireless Router to Airpot extreme but Airport will only except join not extend and I can not get a network on the Airpor Extreme ethernet ports but can ping Airport extreme from Technicolor Rout/

    Extend Wireless Network using a Telstra technicolor Gateway wireless Router to Airpot extreme but Airport will only except "join a wireless network (which it does) not "extend a wireless network" (Led turns yellow and I can not get a network working on the Airpor Extreme ethernet ports but can ping Airport extreme from Technicolor Router.
    Airport gets it address DHCP.

    Funny how I can ping the Extreme but the Hard Ethernet ports dont seem to work correctly.
    When the AirPort Extreme is configured to "Join" a wireless network, the Ethernet ports are not enabled.
    Oddly, the AirPort Express has a special feature that will allow it to to "Join" virtually any wireless network.....and the Ethernet port can be enabled. So, an Express would work for your purpose to provide an Ethernet connection to the media player. This assumes that the Express is located where it can receive a strong wireless signal from your main router.
    Note that the Express will not provide any additional wireless coverage when it "Joins".

  • How do I use Time Capsule as a wireless router and turn my current one into modem only

    I have a crappy modem/ router and before I purchase a new modem I want to use the modem (no wireless) feature of my router.
    Question #1
    How do I use my Time Capsule as a router?
    Question #2
    If I do this will I still be able to wirelessly back up to my Time Capsule?
    Question #3
    How do I turn off (wireless) or the router function of my modem/ router?
    Question #4
    I then want to connect all my wireless devices to my Time Capsule making that
    the main WIFi in my house. I am assuming this is possible it is I just dont know how to go about doing this myslef without guidance, and the Airport Installer is confusing to me.
    Thanks!

    Question #1
    How do I use my Time Capsule as a router?
    Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on your modem/router to the WAN port (circle of dots icon) on the Time Capsule.
    Open AirPort Utility and click Continue to follow the guided setup to  configure the Time Capsule to "create a wireless network".  Select the "Bridge Mode" option when it appears during the setup. (AirPort Utility will normally do this for you)
    Question #2
    If I do this will I still be able to wirelessly back up to my Time Capsule?
    Yes
    Question #3
    How do I turn off (wireless) or the router function of my modem/ router?
    We prefer not to guess at things, but since we do not know the make and model number of your modem/router, and this is an Apple support area, we have little choice.
    In general, you would enter the default IP address of the device into your browser to bring up the configuration pages (check your documentatio on the modem/router for this information, or it may be on the back or bottom of the device. An example of a default IP address is something like 192.168.1.254
    There will be a wireless settings page that will allow you turn off the wireless function of the device.
    If you acquired the modem/router from your service provider, they should be able to tell you how to do this as well, or if you check the manufacturer's website, they will likely have a support area for questions like this.
    Question #4
    I then want to connect all my wireless devices to my Time Capsule making that
    the main WIFi in my house.
    You will need to log on to the Time Capsule wireless network from each device and enter the password to connect. Most computers will "remember" the setting so that you do not have to enter the password each time that you connect.
