Thank you Claudio!
I didn't even think of that, as these Route Reflectors are completely
out-of-band and not in the path of routing at all.
Of course they wouldn't work without having a route to the nexthop :-)
I'm much more versed in troubleshooting BGP on IOS, but with all the
work you just put into OpenBGPD I wanted to put it to the task.
Thanks so much for your help! It is working now:
================================================
RR$ bgpctl show ip bgp nei 100.92.127.37 out
flags: * = Valid, > = Selected, I = via IBGP, A = Announced,
S = Stale, E = Error
origin validation state: N = not-found, V = valid, ! = invalid
origin: i = IGP, e = EGP, ? = Incomplete
flags ovs destination gateway lpref med aspath origin
I*> N rd 1234:5678 172.29.20.0/24 100.92.127.101 100 0 i
================================================
