Question

Dual Homed ADVPN with BGP

I need some help figuring out why my ADVPN lab isn't working as it should. I currently have 2 hubs and 2 branches in the topology. I am able to communicate branch to branch via the primary ADVPN tunnel just fine, but when I fail one of the WAN links at either of the branches, the BGP next-hop does not populate correctly causing traffic to halt.

 

BRANCH1 # get router info bgp network BGP table version is 37, local router ID is 10.255.255.2 Status codes: s suppressed, d damped, h history, * valid, > best, i - internal,               S Stale Origin codes: i - IGP, e - EGP, ? - incomplete    Network          Next Hop            Metric LocPrf Weight RouteTag Path *>i10.10.10.0/30    10.255.255.1             0    100      0        0 i * i                 10.255.255.1             0     90      0        0 i *>i11.11.11.0/30    10.255.255.4             0    100      0        0 i * i                 10.255.254.1             0     90      0        0 i *> 12.12.12.0/30    0.0.0.0                       100  32768        0 i *>i13.13.13.0/30    10.255.255.3             0    100      0        0 i * i                 10.255.255.3             0     90      0        0 i Total number of prefixes 4

 

BRANCH2 # get router info bgp network BGP table version is 25, local router ID is 10.255.255.3 Status codes: s suppressed, d damped, h history, * valid, > best, i - internal,               S Stale Origin codes: i - IGP, e - EGP, ? - incomplete    Network          Next Hop            Metric LocPrf Weight RouteTag Path *>i10.10.10.0/30    10.255.255.1             0    100      0        0 i * i                 10.255.255.1             0     90      0        0 i *>i11.11.11.0/30    10.255.255.4             0    100      0        0 i * i                 10.255.254.1             0     90      0        0 i *>i12.12.12.0/30    10.255.255.2             0    100      0        0 i * i                 10.255.254.2             0     90      0        0 i *> 13.13.13.0/30    0.0.0.0                       100  32768        0 i Total number of prefixes 4

 

I have Hub2 BGP local-pref set to 90 to serve as a backup hub, but as you can see, 10.255.254.x only shows up for a few select networks and not all of them. Both hubs have route-reflector-client enabled in their BGP settings.

 

For reference, I have followed the ADVPN setup located here: https://kb.fortinet.com/kb/viewAttachment.do?attachID=FortiOS_ADVPN_version_2018-11-22.pdf&documentID=FD39360

 

Attached is a screenshot of my GNS3 topology.

 

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

    Hi, did you ever get this working as expected?

    I have not. I am going to wait until Fortinet releases its next 6.x firmware that should fix this specific issue.
