BGP default-originate in Active-Standby scenario
Hello,
I'm not struggling with setting up BGP between Cisco ARS routers and LTM Viprion4800 between two vrf's Internet and Public Access but rather with the redistribution...
neighbor 1.2.3.4 remote-as 12345
neighbor 1.2.3.4 description Public Acesss
neighbor 1.2.3.4 advertisement-interval 0
neighbor 1.2.3.4 default-originate
neighbor 1.2.3.4 soft-reconfiguration inbound
neighbor 1.2.3.4 route-map accept-inbound-Public Access in
neighbor 1.2.3.4 route-map accept-outbound-Public Access out
neighbor 4.3.2.1 remote-as 12345
neighbor 4.3.2.1 description NLHRL1PE01-IA
neighbor 4.3.2.1 advertisement-interval 0
neighbor 4.3.2.1 soft-reconfiguration inbound
neighbor 4.3.2.1 route-map accept-default-route in
neighbor 4.3.2.1 route-map accept-outbound-TCIA out
This is done on the both LTM nodes, the active and the standby, so by using default-originate, the two Cisco routers in vrf Public Access gate receive two different default gateways...
*> 0.0.0.0/0 1.2.3.4 0 65423 i
and
*> 0.0.0.0/0 1.2.3.5 0 65423 i
This cannot be good ?! So how can we make a difference between the two routes to the LTM active/standby members?
If we do AS-prepend=1 on LTM node1 and AS-prepend=5 on LTM node2,
in case of issues and a failover of LTM takes place, the BGP is still advertised with AS-prepend=5 and BGP shortest path leads to the standby member with AS-prepend=1
How can we overcome this routing scenario ?
