BGP logical OR of multiple community lists in the same match command

Posted on December 23, 2019 by   |   40 Views

Description In the multi-agent routing protocol model, the Bgp agent now supports matching community lists with a logical OR via the route map “match community or-results <community-list-1> <community-list-2>” command (same applies for extended and large communities with “match extcommunity” and “match large-community”). Without this new “or-results”, the default is to compute the logical AND of all provided community lists. Before this new feature one would need to merge existing community lists into one to do a logical OR: Issue: ip community-list COMMLIST1 permit 1:1 ip community-list COMMLIST2 permit 2:2 ! No way to match "COMMLIST1" or "COMMLIST2" in a singe...

Static inter-VRF route support

Posted on December 19, 2019 by   |   41 Views

Description This feature adds support for static inter-VRF routes. This enables configuration of routes to destinations in one ingress VRF with an ability to specify a next-hop in a different egress VRF through a static configuration. Such static inter-VRF routes can be configured in default and non-default VRFs. A different egress VRF is achieved by “tagging” the “next-hop” or “forwarding via” with a reference to an egress VRF (different from the source VRF) in which that next-hop should be evaluated. Static inter-VRF routes with ECMP next-hop sets in the same egress VRF or heterogenous egress VRFs can be specified This...

MSDP support for multi-agent model

Posted on November 12, 2019 by   |   36 Views

Description The Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) provides a mechanism to connect together multiple PIM Sparse-Mode (PIM-SM) domains. Through peering relationships with MSDP-speaking routers in other PIM-SM domains, an MSDP speaker can learn of multicast sources in these domains, and interested receivers in its own can then be delivered multicast data from these over an inter-domain distribution tree. Existing support is in place for MSDP with the ribd routing protocol model. EOS-4.22.1F introduces support for MSDP with the multi-agent routing protocol model. Platform compatibility This feature is platform-independent. SA Messages and RPF-Peer Selection In both the ribd and multi-agent models,...

Support for UCMP “adjust auto” (multi-agent)

Posted on November 12, 2019 by   |   39 Views

Description Unequal-cost multi-path (UCMP) for BGP is a mechanism for forwarding ECMP route traffic using weights, with which the next hops of those routes are programmed in the FIB. This is done using BGP by disseminating BGP link-bandwidth extended community attribute information with BGP routes, such that the receiver device of all routes programs the next hops in the FIB using the received link-bandwidth values. This feature appends the percentage of interface speed with a route’s received link bandwidth extended community value. The idea is to rebalance the weight ratio of the traffic sent over egress ports, such that we...

Platform compatibility This feature is platform independent and only available when multi-agent mode is enabled. Configuration Below is a list of all possible configurations under this feature: (config-router-bgp)# shutdown [reason REASON] (config-router-bgp)# neighbor ( addr | peer-group) shutdown [reason REASON] (config-router-bgp)# clear [ip | ipv6] bgp [(neighbor (addr | peer-group)) | * ] [vrf (all | default | VRFNAME)] [reason REASON] Note that attaching ‘reason REASON’...

BGP Labeled Unicast / Segment Routing support in multi-agent mode

Posted on September 30, 2019 by   |   62 Views

Description This feature implements RFC3107 that allows carrying a label stack with BGP route updates, using multi-protocol BGP. It also implements segment routing extensions that allow accepting and carrying the transitive segment-index (SID) attribute in LU route updates. This implementation is for multi-agent mode. BGP LU for ribd mode is supported since 4.17.0F, see details in the following location: https://eos.arista.com/eos-4-17-0f/bgplu/ The following BGP LU features are supported: Basic IPv4 and IPv6 BGP LU, both receiving LU updates and originating/re-advertising LU routes to other peers iBGP and eBGP peering for LU peers Using ISIS-SR (or other MPLS tunnels) as the underlay...

BGP replace remote-as

Posted on June 13, 2019 by   |   153 Views

Description The replace remote AS feature allows a provider edge (PE) router to change the autonomous system (AS) number used by a customer edge (CE) device, on an external BGP (EBGP) session. Enterprises, which are geographically distributed, are connected via providers. As a best practice, these enterprises use same BGP AS across multiple sites. This will cause the local AS number to be carried in AS_PATH via external BGP sessions, as illustrated in the diagram below. BGP, by default, does not accept routes with an AS path attribute that contains the local AS number to prevent routing loops. In the...

sFlow extension BGP in multi-agent

Posted on June 10, 2019 by   |   211 Views

Description Sflow samples can be augmented with additional Extended gateway data by getting data from BGP in addition to sFlow’s standard IP information. The additional BGP information can be seen in sFlow Version 5 doc under extended_gateway. Extended gateway data was already supported in gated mode. Now it is being supported for multi-agent mode (arBGP). Platform compatibility This feature is supported on all platforms. Configuration A BGP instance must be configured on the switch for BGP sFlow export to operate. rtr1(config)#sflow run rtr1(config)#sflow extension bgp Show Commands bgprtr1(config)#show sflow sFlow Configuration ------------------- Destination(s):   127.0.0.1:54855 (VRF: default) Source(s):   10.10.10.10 (VRF: default)...

GTSM for BGP

Posted on June 10, 2019 by   |   52 Views

Description This feature involves the use of packet’s Time to Live (TTL) (IPv4) or Hop Limit (IPv6) attributes to protect BGP peering sessions (both iBgp and eBgp) from an attacker on the network segment causing denial of service using forged IP packets by spoofing the BGP peer’s IP address. The solution is described by the RFC 3682 (Generalized TTL Security Mechanism). The user can configure a minimum TTL for incoming IP packets received from the BGP peer. BGP session will only get established if the TTL value in the received IP packet header is greater than or equal to the...

ribd vs multi-agent (ArBGP)

Posted on December 7, 2018 by   |   0 Views

My organization is developing lab scenarios to move our network towards implementing EVPN. Part of that process is to add the: service routing protocols model multi-agent command. We have found a few unique situations where the default behavior of routing (outside of BGP) has changed. For example: OSPF summary routes not working Static routes to unreachable next hops (while the interface is up) are not placed in the RIB. I have been unable to find any documentation outside about what actually changes when implementing that command. Is there a white paper about it, or a list of default behaviors that...
