Question

BGP Advertising issue with single prefix

Hello,

I have to set BGP on my Fortigate 600E appliance with my isp.

I already configured neighbors, AS and advertised routes and everything is working fine except:

There's 1 network in my routing table which is 10.10.0.0/16

I have to advertise to my neighbor only the 10.10.60.0/24 network and not the whole /16 subnet (he set it in his prefix filter) so

I added another static route of 10.10.60.0/24 for my local routing table with the same gateway as the 10.10.0.0/16 has, and advertised it to my BGP Neighbor.

 

Now, my neighbor gets all the networks I advertise except the 10.10.60.0/24

 

Routing table (only the routes assosiated with that issue) : 

S 10.10.0.0/16 [1/0] via 15.15.15.1, port5, [0/50] S 10.10.60.0/24 [10/0] via 15.15.15.1, port5

 

BGP Advertise to neighbor (get router info bgp neighbors <ip address of neighbor> advertised-routes):

*> 10.10.60.0/24   93.52.12.2                  100  32768        0 i <-/->

 

 

I dont see what is the problem.. I can see I have it in my local routing table and advertise the network but they still cant get it.

 

Appreciate any help! 

Thanks

    Is this MPLS circuit or Internet with the ISP? If MPLS, likely it's summarized by the provider because the /24 route is redundant. Either ask the provider or try filtering out the /16 route from advertisement.

    Thanks for the reply. These are all private addresses, and not internet.. it is indeed MPLS or IPVPN ... However.. And the /16 is not advertised. It is just in the routing table in my fortigate, For BGP im advertising only the /24 and the isp put the /24 in his prefix filter list as all the other network Im advertising to him (they are all /24 and all work except this one.)

    Then you already know nothing you can do on your FGT. Call the provider/MSP (managed service provider) to ask why they're dropping it.
