I'm assuming Mikrotik since he's working with IPArchitechs. *Usually* you don’t want to see routes to your own network coming in through the internet when you're muti-homed so you add discard rules for your subnets on your upstream-bgp-in route filters.

I get your point though .. if these guys are “experts” then for them it should be pretty trivial to diagnose… actually sounds like you have too many filters in place that are causing the problem (just a guess but no reason to use filters in OSPF typically) > On Jun 1, 2017, at 4:58 PM, Chris Wright <ch...@velociter.net> wrote: > > Any reason you don't drop those subnets on your upstream-bgp-in filters? > > Chris Wright > Network Administrator > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Af [mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com] On Behalf Of Sterling Jacobson > Sent: Thursday, June 01, 2017 1:45 PM > To: af@afmug.com > Subject: Re: [AFMUG] IP Architects > > It is a routing problem, probably a BGP change outside of us. > > But I have internal BGP and several /24 subnets that I don't want to route > around the internet and back to myself, just to hop directly between my two > Mikrotik BGP instances. > > That seems to be the major hangup right now. > > I have a single static entry to route a specific block from one Mikrotik to > the other, but need a more general policy BGP related that gets automatically > filtered down to my OSPF network and MPLS to keep all of my own inter-subnet > communications internal instead of trying to roam all over creation and back > to myself. > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Af [mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com] On Behalf Of Faisal Imtiaz > Sent: Thursday, June 1, 2017 12:02 PM > To: af@afmug.com > Subject: Re: [AFMUG] IP Architects > > on-list of off-list > > Care to share what is the problem you are trying or needing to solve ? > > Faisal Imtiaz > Snappy Internet & Telecom > 7266 SW 48 Street > Miami, FL 33155 > Tel: 305 663 5518 x 232 > > Help-desk: (305)663-5518 Option 2 or Email: supp...@snappytelecom.net > > ----- Original Message ----- >> From: "Sterling Jacobson" <sterl...@avative.net> >> To: "af@afmug.com" <af@afmug.com> >> Sent: Thursday, June 1, 2017 11:53:32 AM >> Subject: [AFMUG] IP Architects > >> So far, not so good with them. >> >> I've spent about $340 for an hour and a half time to have them modify >> one temporary route rule in fifteen seconds. >> Rest of the time appeared to be them attempting to figure things out >> on BGP/eBGP and OSPF. >> >> That didn't fix my problem, just a patch to get some traffic >> re-routed, but left me with a bunch of other problems. >> >> When I asked them about the charge, they wouldn't work with me. >> >> I expect a lot more out of a team that charges top dollar for being >> the top experts. >> >> I'm having problems communicating and scheduling time now to get that >> permanently fixed. >> It appears they want to create an entire lab with separate equipment, >> spending hours of my money, to understand the problem. >> >> So, yeah, not what I was expecting out of them at all. >
