Hey all
Using a 'hybrid' network model with Fortigate 80F and a Cisco catalyst 9200L
Forti handles the routing and is relayed to Cisco.
Im trying to relay OSPF routes learnt by Fortigate into iBGP handled by our ISP, however its not working.
i can see in Forti that the routes are connected locally but not propagated into BGP
I get routes from BGP so i can confirm that its working atleast one way, but not the other.
Im trying to propagate 10.0.1.1 10.0.2.1 10.0.3.1 all /25 to BGP for advertised routing

Hi From what I see, the FortiGate is already advertising the /25 routes since they show up under advertised routes. So it’s likely just a filtering issue on the provider side or something in the outbound route map.

hi,
most likely the reason that 10.0.8.0/25 network isnt installing in RIB is due to the fact that in the AS Path you have the AS 65500 ( which is also your local BGP AS if im not mistaken ) found and by default it's denied.
under, config router bgp you should do set allowas-in-enable enable and see afterwards if it gets installed, otherwise you can use the default route to reach it ( you should activate/use that setting with care, it can create a loop in your network ).
duh, that fixed it! many thanks
