BGP AS Path

I have topology like below picture. Why azure see prefix 10.100.0.0/16 from AS65100-65103?

In the hub i have prefix list only subnet 10.103.0.0/16 will be advertised to azure and in the spoke will advertise subnet 10.100.0.0/16

Hi, HUB might be advertising the learned spoke prefix to Azure. Could you check the advertised routes from the HUB to Azure?  Please run the below command on the HUB to check the advertised routes.

get router info bgp neighbors <neighbor IP> advertised-routes

Thanks

i have prefix list to only advertise subnet in the hub (10.103.0.0/16 and 172.30.30.0/24) to azure

Because you have ADVPN setup and the HUB is acting as a route reflector. If I remember correctly you asked the same question a while ago and somebody from FTNT answered you with an option for the hub not to act as an rout reflector at that time. Do you remember?

hi,

 

Yes but in the fgt documentation that for advpn setup the RR client should be enable in the hub, right?

I think every spoke should have filter to deny prefix from hub to advertise spoke prefix itself, right?

Think about how BGP uses the AS-PATH and its length a little bit.

When a router receives a route from peer A and announces it to peer B what happens to the AS-PATH?
