Question

firmware: RUTX_R_00.07.01.2:

I tried to redistribute a static route into BGP but it turns out it does not work. As alternative I tried to advertise the same route with the 'network' statement. This works fine.
Redistribution of connected routes does work properly as well. Any idea how we can get it working?

Answer 1

Hi,

Can you share a bit more details on where is the issue around redistributing your routes?

Under BGP instance section you should add the networks you would like to advertise with CIDR notation. Also, check Remote Address under BGP Peers section is correct.

there are are several ways to advertise prefixes through BGP:
1. advertise the prefix through the network statement under BGP. Prerequisite is that this prefix must be in known in the routing table (there exists yet a subnet or prefix entry in the routing table injected by an IGP e.g. a static route)

2. add the static route and redistribute this static through the 'redistribute static' statement under BGP

It is the second method that doesn't work at all. Now you have to add the static route and for each static route you must add a separate entry through the network statement under bgp

Can anyone from Teltonika advise?
