Configure DMVPN and get rid of this crap.  Crazy that an ISP is not using L3
VPN to hide other customers but get the problem resolved by isolating the
domans.

Subject: [OSL | CCIE_RS] RIP filtering based on tags

 

Guys,

 

Here is a situation I am dealing with, maybe you can give me some ideeas.
It's a real-life scenario, but it's all about routing, so I don't think I am
violating any of the mailing list rules.

 

We have a customer HQ connected to many branches over a very stange ISP
connection. By "strange" I mean the ISP is running RIP with the customer
routers and also RIP between it's core routers all the way to the branches.

 

The situation becomes even weirder: both the customer and the ISP are using
the same address space, something like 192.168.0.0/16. The ISP is offering
the same transport service to many other customers, and announced all the
customer of the situation, including the fact that if any of the customer
routes will interfere with the internal addresing, it will be dropped.

 

The problem that arises from this situation is that the customer we are
talking about (the one with the overlapping address space) has problems
every time the ISP changes it's topoplogy or assignes new addresses or
connects a new client. 

 

The temporary solution is a manual distribute list that filters those "evil
routes". But I would like to offer them an automated filtering solutions. My
ideea is tagging the routes from the branches, at the redistribution in the
RIP process, and filtering all others at the HQ, based on that tag. So only
my tagged routes should be accepted.

 

Topology:

 

HQ ---------(RIP)-------- PE router -----------(RIP)------ ISP cloud
-----------(RIP)---------- branches

 

So the HQ router is running RIP with the first PE router, and learns ALL the
routes from it (the branch routes and also the other internal WAN ISP routes
we don't care about).

The metric for the routes is random, so the only option I am thinking is
filtering based on tags.

 

BUT, what options do I have of doing this on the HQ router ? The
distribute-list feature does not support route-maps options as far as I
know.

 

Excluded possible solutions: another routing protocol / internal ISP RIP
manipulations.

 

 

 Daniel G.
