Re: bgp network sending subnet and more specifics [7:71073]

Hi,

is this only an exercise or you really need to do this? If the latter, then 
I would be curious to know why this would be useful. I feel a slight 
contradiction in that you can't control whether a /24 or two /25 routes 
reach you yet you seem to know what is in one half versus the other half of 
the /24 network and want to make some routing decision based on this
knowledge.

Anyway, to answer your question, the obvious solution is to point the two 
/25 static routes towards where you learn the /24 route from, not to Null0. 
If you have only one IGP peer, then simply point them towards it.

If you have multiple IGP peers, then it gets a bit ugly. You could create a 
loopback address on the router where x.x.x.x/24 (or the two /25 networks) 
is directly connected, advertise the loopback(s) through the same IGP 
protocol which carries the x.x.x.x/24 route, and point the two /25 static 
routes to the loopback address(es). Or (assuming the IGP is OSPF and 
x.x.x.x/24 is in another area) you could use the loopback address of some 
backbone routers (possibly creating multiple pairs of static routes, each 
with different admin distance pointing to a different backbone router).

The main thing to note in either case is that if you ever, for any reason, 
happen to advertise back these /25 routes towards where you learn the /24 
route from, or if the router you pointed your static route to ever thinks 
that your router is the best way to get to x.x.x.x/24, then you just 
created a routing loop.

Btw, why is it that the IGP will only send the /24 and not the two /25s? 
Getting the two /25s instead of the one /24 might be as easy as configuring 
a secondary IP address on that interface or (selectively) disabling 
summarization. This of course depends on your situation, so just something 
to think about...

Thanks,

Zsombor

If I define a static null route for each subnet (x.x.x.0/24,
x.x.x.0/25, and x.x.x.128/25), all three routes are advetised.

Is there a way to get the /24 and two /25s sent without
the null route?   In actuallity, the /24 will be learned
via some IGP, so can't use the nulls and the IGP will
only send the /24 and not the two /25s.

Thanks
