Strange things are going on...

RouterOS Forwarding Protocols
1

Hi,

Just a quick run down 3 routers involved

  1. MikroTik - Production Router
  2. Cisco 7200 ( Edge1 to Lab )
    3 Cisco 7200 ( Edge2 to Lab )

When my advertisements from my Lab reach the MikroTik even if i use a policy and match a community and use BGP TE to try force traffic the Active route never gets used. Same instance on the MikroTik- separates on the 7200


AS100-MikroTik

AS200 AS300

  •                     -

  •                     -

  •                     -

  •                     -

192.168.1.0/24

I would give Local Pref 50 to AS200 so AS300 becomes "Active" in the MikroTiks table but nope still traverses the AS200....

Also in order to ping from the MikroTik side into the lab i first have to ping out from the lab.... Almost like an Arp but they should not matter it should push
all traffic to the neighbor advertising the route the dst ip is part of.

Thanks.
