CheckPoint BGP Route received

[useraz]

Hi all,

I have established the eBGP in LAB, but I can not see the received route in routing table?
Did I miss something?

Best regards, Ales

Pretty sure you have to have a routemap or similar configured to accept these routes.
Will admit, the intricacies of dynamic routing are not one of my strong suits. 😬

Hi,

Finaly, I have found the typo.

Next hop for received routes were referred to FW himself. "Wrong" routes are not accepted into BGP and main routing table.

Thanks, Ales
