Hi people, I need to redesign our network following the attached diagram as we have 2 transit ISPs connected respectively to 2 CCR cloud cores.
I would like to ask two things:
Can the IPs of the OSFP area be private or do they have to be public? We have to announce a subnet / 24 via our ASN and I would be sorry to lose several for the OSFP area
For loopback IPs we will use public addresses
I wonder why doing some tests in the laboratory with the private OSFP area IPs by disconnecting a carrier on Router 1 it is no longer reachable from the Router 2 Transit. This is because in the Router the NAT is disabled so R1 contacts R2 from the natted IP. R2 doesn't have NAT and can't manage it ...
The second point is the Route Reflector .. I have activated 2 peers, one on Router1 and one on Router2. On the Route Reflector there is an IGBP that goes to the loopbacks of the respective routers. The session goes up correctly but the PC connected to the Reflector router has an additional HOP when it browses.
Example:
Router 1: 1.1.1.1
Router 2: 1.1.1.2
Router Reflector: 1.1.1.3
If I do a traceroute from the PC connected to the reflector I see
1.1.1.3> 1.1.1.1> IP OF PTP ISP>
Is there any way to skip 1.1.1.1 and go directly to the ISP Transit PTP? On the peer of router1 and router2 I have activated the Route Reflect and the Next Hop but it doesn't work anyway ...
Thank you all
