Hi all,

I am having an issue with a new set of Juniper MX80 routers and an EX4500 
switch. My topology is extremely simple, each MX80 has its own internet 
provider running full BGP routes, and iBGP between the two. The EX4500 is 
connected to both MX80 devices with /30 P2P running OSPF with route 
redistribution. The MX80s are originating a default route to the EX4500 via 
OSPF.

I have a single /24 announced to both of my internet providers with a machine 
connected to the EX4500 via a /30.

Both MX80 devices can ping the machine, and vice-versa. My issue becomes when I 
have an inbound route traverse "ISP A" on one MX, but the return path tries to 
egress "ISP B" on the other MX. Traffic is dropped and never reaches its final 
destination. The same behavior happens when the ingress is on "ISP B" and 
egress on "ISP A".

If the ingress and egress paths are symmetrical, connectivity is fine. 
Additionally, if I override the OSPF learned route for the machines /30 on the 
ingress MX80, and point a static route to the egress path MX80 for the /30, 
traffic flows perfectly fine.

I do not have any elaborate firewall filters or anything such as RPF enabled, 
etc on any of the devices at this time. My carriers are also not filtering any 
traffic on their side.

Are there any default configurations in place on either the MX80 or EX4500 that 
could cause this behavior? One MX80 is running JunOS 13.3, the second MX and 
the EX4500 are both running JunOS 12.3. The behavior is similar to using a pair 
of SRX devices in flow mode with traffic ingress on one device, and egress on 
another.

I appreciate any insight that can be provided.

Thank you,
Chad
