BGP Filter and Advertising

[melcu]

Hi mates,

Again, missed me ? 😞

I have a requirement that kinds of blows me away.

SO .. 3 routers.  A,  B (Check Point) and C

B receives from C   and advertise to A  but with a "catch".

Routes from C are marked with a community of  1:1 (It's a Cisco).

On Check Point we need the following:

if routes are received from C with community 1:1 then redistribute them to A  with a MED of 50

if routes have a different community (or no community) inject them in CKP routing table

If routes are received with community 1:2  then redistribute them to A with a MED of 200

This is where I'm stuck: Check Point doesn't do community in that format therefore I've asked the customer to create route-maps on Cisco and set for 1:1  100 and for 1:2 200

But know I have no idea how to do redistribution with different MEDs based on what's inbound.  

In Cisco World will be simple but here it blows my mind and I have horse vision right now (I've struggled with it whole weekend)

Any advice is as usual really appreciated!!

I need first to upgrade my SMS and then blink R82. But again, since I'm stunned about this it doesn't matter if it will take 30 minutes or 4 hours.

I need to test this!

Please share your TAC SR number so we can look internally - thanks.

The issue has been identified and is planned for a future JHF (PRJ-64616).

Excellent Chris, thanks for letting us know!

[melcu]

Wow. Just wow.

Thanks for letting me know. I will track that on JHF releases.

So a month went by,  Take 60 was released and has no fix included 😞 Just tested a couple of minutes ago and the issue is still there.

How long do I have to wait for something so small to be included in a major release ? I'm thinking of trying R82.10 to see if it was fixed there.

[Chris_Atkinson]

Ask TAC or your SE to follow-up the ETA for you since you had an SR previously.

I did not see anything for it in R82.10 release notes, but worth asking TAC.
