Hello, I have 2 routers in AS300 RTF is connected to RTA in AS 1239 & RTG is connected to RTH in AS 701 In AS300 I have set communities via a route-map to be advertised as follows: 1239:110 to AS 1239 & 701:120 to AS 701
Routers in AS 1239 and AS 701 have been configured with a community list and a route-map to match these communities and change the local pref to 110 and 120 respectively. These work fine: Ex.AS701-H#bt Network Next Hop Metric LocPrf Weight Path *> 3.3.3.0/24 190.90.10.1 120 0 300 i Ex. AS1239-A#bt Network Next Hop Metric LocPrf Weight Path *> 3.3.3.0/24 180.80.10.1 0 110 0 300 i AS1239 and AS701 are connected to RTE AS7018-NAP >From AS7018, I wanted to route to be preferred through AS701 which has a higher local pref of 120 BUT AS7018 still prefers the route thru AS1239 which has a local pref. And I do not see the local pref values in AS7018. Why?? Ex. AS7018-NAP#bt Network Next Hop Metric LocPrf Weight Path * 3.3.3.0/24 170.70.10.2 0 701 300 i *> 160.60.10.2 0 1239 300 i 160.60.10.2 is AS1239 Now I do understand that all things being equal, BGP will prefer the router with the lowest RID, which in this case is AS1239, 160.60.100.100. Thus AS7018 chooses this route. BUT I want AS7018 to choose AS701 to get to AS300's networks!!! Question: Should AS7018 on receiving the communites from AS1239 and AS701 set the desired local pref?? Why not?? What am I missing? Please advise. Thank you. Sincerely, CN _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.
