As an aside, if you are jumping major releases and upgrading to 7.5, in 7.4 we had this major change in bgp behavior: Major Behavior Changes RFC 8212 is now enabled by default. BGP will not advertise or use routes unless explicitly configured to do so with an export or import policy. If BGP is establishing peers, but not exchanging prefixes it is because of this change in behavior. To get around this, do one of these things: A) turn on `no bgp ebgp-requires-policy` under `router bgp` mode in your config B) Apply route-maps to both incoming and outgoing neighbors: `neighbor X route-map FOO in` `neighbor X route-map BAR out` C) Run FRR in datacenter mode where this policy is not turned on by default. thanks! donald On Wed, Nov 11, 2020 at 12:23 PM Donald Sharp <sharpd@cumulusnetworks.com> wrote:
