Hello everyone,
I recently upgraded from version 6 to version 7. I have two routers of which in the first I implement BGP and OSPF and in the second OSPF. I have a pool /24 of public IPs that I don’t use in their entirety and that I would like to subdivide into sub-networks to allocate to clients. When I configure the /24 on the interface of my router I have access to the Internet but when I create a /28 for example I don’t have access to the Internet. What can I do? Thank you for your help
Hello!
BGP requires an active /24 route in order to advertise it. You can create a blackhole route for the /24 network to meet this requirement, while injecting the more specific /28 prefix via OSPF. Since the /28 routes are more specific, your internal networks will function normally, and BGP will successfully advertise the /24.
