There has been a regression somewhere between 1.1.8 and 1.2.0-rc6 where learned routes from an eBGP peer are not installed to the FIB.
With the following configuration:
bgp 397143 { neighbor 169.254.169.254 { address-family { ipv4-unicast { nexthop-self soft-reconfiguration { inbound } } } ebgp-multihop 2 remote-as 64515 } parameters { router-id 23.157.160.2 } }
No learned routes are displayed in ip route show.
However in 1.1.8, with the following configuration:
bgp 397143 { neighbor 169.254.169.254 { ebgp-multihop 2 nexthop-self remote-as 64515 soft-reconfiguration { inbound } } parameters { router-id 23.157.160.2 } }
All learned routes appear in ip route show.
