Routing rules are not working in 'output' chain?

RouterOS General

v3.27, routing-test

I need to use ‘bla-bla’ routing table (not ‘main’) for establishing BGP connections. I add a rule to routes: src-address=my_bgp_local_address action=lookup table=bla-bla. Not working: Network is unreachable.

The only way I found working is to add valid default gateway (‘blackhole’, ‘unreachable’ routes are not working), then mark routing in ‘output’ chain.

Any comments on this?..

I have this same problem with NTP, SNMP, L2TP tunnels, etc. Seems like anything sourced from the router doesnt play nice with policy routing or something.

oops :blush:

seems like it’s working - don’t know what I did wrong…

looks like the problem is a bit different: it works if you forcibly set src-address (like ‘Update Source’) in BGP Peer, but when the address should be selected automatically (where you cannot set it, like PPTP Client), then router cannot select appropriate address for Routing Rules or something…
