Hello!
Today I ran in situation where I need to have Route Refresh capability
(RFC 2918) to be turned on, while Enhanced Route Refresh capability
(RFC 7313) to be turned off.
Some customers' routers, when see no "Route Refresh" capability, just
drops BGP refresh messages, for example, today's output from customer's router:
minot...@br1-gdr.ki# run show bgp neighbor 193.25.180.255 | match
"State|Refresh"
Type: External State: Established Flags: <Sync>
Last State: OpenConfirm Last Event: RecvKeepAlive
Options: <Preference PeerAS Refresh>
Peer does not support Refresh capability
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Input messages: Total 7022958 Updates 6696784 Refreshes 0 Octets
467801961
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I realize I could set "enable route refresh on" to all of customers but I'm
afraid to hit a bug described here:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.network.bird.user/4158
According to docs, "enable route refresh off" disables both of them.
So is there a way to work somehow around that ?
Thanks in advance!
