Dear Community, I hope this email finds you well. I came across this insightful discussion on the OpenStack forum regarding the OVN-BGP-Agent Discussio<https://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2022-August/030080.html>n. We are doing research on openstack capability and would greatly appreciate your guidance. We are utilizing the OVN mechanism driver along with the OVN-BGP-Agent<https://github.com/openstack/ovn-bgp-agent/tree/master> in EVPN mode. Our objective is to establish BGP-EVPN between our leaf switch and the OpenStack controller. The OVN-BGP-Agent should advertise the IP and MAC addresses of VMs to its BGP peers. Please find attached the following details for your reference: bgp-agent.conf Agent configuration OVN_DB configuration Result We installed the OVN-BGP-Agent and FRR on the controller. Below are the steps we followed: Network Setup: Created a tenant network (NET) with a subnet of 121.168.0.0/24. Created a provider network (EXNET) with a subnet of 192.27.5.0/24. Router Configuration: Set up a router (newrouter) with an external network (EXNET) and unchecked SNAT. Added the NET interface to the router. OVN Database Configuration: Configured the OVN Northbound DB (detailed in the attachment). VM Creation: Deployed a VM in NET with the VM's IP 121.168.0.202 PFA for the agent configuration and FRR configuration done once agent VM has been created. Despite following the steps above, the VM IP is not visible in FRR, PFA for the result. Consequently, we are unable to advertise its route via BGP-EVPN. We kindly request your guidance to identify any potential misconfigurations or missing steps. Thank you for your time and support.
