I've found an interesting issue and I wanted to get some thoughts before 
talking to JTAC about it.


I have a few of MX480s.  In the past, I've advertised a dedicated /24 from my 
lab to my providers upstream.
That /24 was never learned by my primary MX.

The issue comes down to either the MX or the Cisco filtering routes that are 
from the same ASN.  It's been a couple of years since I ran across this and I 
can't remember who was at fault.


This behavior is biting my with regard to my DR site.


At my DR, I have a SRX with say ASN 1234. It's advertising a /24.

At my primary site, I also use ASN1234. I do not receive the /24 via BGP.

So, either the Cisco (7600 I think) isn't advertising the route to me because 
it's from my ASN - OR - The MX is filtering it because it's from my ASN and 
coming in on a eBGP link.


If it's the MX, I'm certain I can write an import filter, but I'm having an 
issue hunting down syntax on that.
If it's the Cisco, then I can yell at the provider to have them open a TAC 
case. 



Like I said, I ran across this a few years ago, but can't remember who was at 
fault. I could build a multi-hop neighbor relationship to get around this, but 
surely there's a simpler solution...
