Question

EVPN MP-BGP route leaking to routing table

hello team,

I have configured mp-bgp with VXLAn between 2 Fortigates and everything is working fine,

I need to  advertise only connected IPs to the local switch to other FortiGates/VDOM via BGP.

The same thing for both Fortigates.

I need to do that because we have remote locations that we would like to connect directly to the Fortigate that has the Server IP instead of traversing the vxlan to reach the destination server.

thank you

Route redistribution is taking routes from another protocol, static, or connected routes and injecting those routes into another protocol. Route leaking is “leaking” routes between virtual routing tables (VRFs) which by default are isolated from one another.

I have only one VRF (by default VRF 0).

If I assign different VRF for the remote site, how can I leak /32 IPS from the fortigate BGP configuration?
