<div dir="ltr">Ok, Martin. Let speak in general. The topology is very simple:<div>There is set of "area" routers speaking with "core" router by ospf. Core router has "supernet" routed to null (ip route X.X.X.X/20 null0) to avoid forwading loops to unallocated IPs. And it also injects this route into ospf and bgp with "redistribute static". When route is injected into bgp it gets some communities for further processing. Core router is speaking to border router by ospf and bgp. So on border router we get two routes X.X.X.X/20 ospf E2 type, and X.X.X.X/20 ibgp. OSPF wins, and route can not be announced to ebgp peers. What do You suggest? Change preference for OSPF - so we break igp?</div><div><br></div><div>This is my knowlegde from cisco/quagga world. And it does not work with bird. Where is my mistake?</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Boris</div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">пн, 27 февр. 2017 г. в 16:50, Martin Mares <<a href="mailto:mj@ucw.cz">mj@ucw.cz</a>>:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hello!<br class="gmail_msg">

Generally speaking, what you export to other routers should be a subset of<br class="gmail_msg">
what you really use for forwarding packets. Otherwise you are inviting routing<br class="gmail_msg">
loops and other problems. (There are exceptions to this rule, for example when<br class="gmail_msg">
you are running a BGP route reflector, but I suspect it is not your case.)<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
>From this point of view, it does make much sense to me what you are trying<br class="gmail_msg">
to accomplish. If you use the static route for forwarding, you should export<br class="gmail_msg">
it via eBGP. If the static route is merely a backup for cases when iBGP is<br class="gmail_msg">
down, adjust its preference so that the iBGP route will be preferred.<br class="gmail_msg">

Have a nice fortnight<br class="gmail_msg">
