Alcatel Unleashed

Hello all, I'm setting up a new SR-2S on 22.10 and I'm having issues getting VPRNs to leak routes to eachother using vrf-export and vrf import. I've tried every combination of policy and vrd-target I can think of but nothing has worked. Interestingly enough leaking to GRT does work and so does routing to the GRT. Below is a configuration snippet from VPRN in question along with it's vrf-export and vrd-import policies. Notice though I do have entries in the policies I've set the default action to accept. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

Although this will be a backplane type of function, I am pretty certain you will need to enable the bgp-vpn address family as that looks missing from your configs.

Otherwise I don’t think any process will pick up these prefixes for you.

Thanks

Wanted to post an update as I found the fix! I didn't have BGP enabled in the default routing instance just yet, when I enabled it, VRF route leaking started to work! So for those struggling with the same issue, make sure BGP is configured in the base routing instance!

Thanks for the update, my mistake, I was reading your bgp config as if it were global.
Great that it's all working for you now.
