I have four routers running BGP:
Router 2 gets full routes from router 1. Router 3 gets full routes from router 4. However, router 2 and router 3 do not get full routes from each other.
How can I force the sending of full routes to these peers?
Need more details?
Can you print bgp instance and peer config for all routers. Are you using iBgp or eBgp?
Here is the config for router #3. I’m not able to get 66.XX.XX.0/24 to be advertised either.

Did you check why the routes are not propagated (probably discarded?)
Enable bgp logging.
Did you set “force self” option on “neighbour” under peers config?

What does the “force self” option do?
Forces ip address of the announcing router as nexthop for the announced routes to the corresponding peer.
The peer will discard the received routes if routes nexthop is thought as unreacheable.
forcing nexthop to the point to point ip of the peer makes the nexthop reacheable and the routes are not discarded anymore.
the option is available from 2.9.28 only though (and don’t use 2.9.28 as it has memory leak on the routing test packages).
Also, you should use routing-test package instead of routing package.

Ricky
