We're in a similar situation with 2 of our connections going to the same ISP/ASN. It somewhat limits what BGP metrics you can use to select the incoming path. First get your connections between your routers squared away, probably with OSPF, etc like IPANetEngineer shows. From there, in terms of your...

equalized path costs for the return so all the return path options were in the routing table and it didn't help.

OSPF routes from R1 to R5 shows all 3 options, but from R5 to R1 only shows going through R7. I think I'll tinker with OSPF costs just to see what happens even though RP-filter is off.

Currently rp-filter is no, but changing it to loose or strict didn't help. thanks jim ip settings print ip-forward: yes send-redirects: yes accept-source-route: no accept-redirects: no secure-redirects: yes rp-filter: no tcp-syncookies: no max-neighbor-entries: 8192 arp-timeout: 30s icmp-rate-limit:...

I'm working on adding routers to my ISP network and ran into an issue with a new router being unable to BGP peer with a route reflector. Turns out it can't ping the route reflector using the loopback address as the source, although using the interface address is fine. Here's a simplified layout: R12...

Working on switching up some /30 to /32 in order to free up some addresses. So far haven't noticed stability issues, but path selection seems a bit odd. Here's the rundown: R1 is connected to R2. R1 interface to R2 has a /32 address, for example, 1.1.1.1/32 with network 2.2.2.2. R2 facing R1 is 2.2....

thanks for the reply. 1. according to the switch chip features table, the 8227 doesn't support a rule table, but still does TX limiting. No matter, since I'm interested in ports 1-5 and sfp. I'm trying to set it in Webfig using Switch - Ports - ether1 - Egress Rate. I get the message "rate limi...

Working on configuring a 2011 and a 3011 and had a couple issues/questions: 1) According to the Switch Chip Features page, both Atheros chips involved support TX rate limiting. However whenever I try to set Egress Rate, I get an error: "rate limiting not supported". Has that feature been d...

I think i've figured out that it's just me still living in an IPV4 world and failing to think in hex

Working on an IPV6 test network. Assigned a 2001:db8::33/126 address to a running interface. A route is added for 2001:db8:30/126. Seems strange since my understanding is that it should be 32/126 and that 30/126 is not a valid network. Assigned 2001:db8::29/126 to another running interface. Routing ...

Has anybody had any success with a Fiberstore long range fiber 10 gig module (10GBASE-ZR 1550nm) in the CCR1016?  I'm working on a new 10 gig link from my provider and I have good light, but can't get link.  On the interface screen, the router recognizes the module, but the status (RX/TX power, volt...
