Noob: routing table seems unhonoured
-
I would appreciate if anyone could tell me what I'm doing wrong here. I'm a noob at BGP, I recently turned on BGP between pfSense and another router.
The routers are connected like this:
WAN <-> pfSense <-> notPfSense <-> PCI had an issue where I couldn't ping the Internet (Google in this case), I traced the route and found that FRR wasn't distributing a default route, so I found the "Default Originate" option, and that fixed the routing problem on non-pfSense router. But pinging still doesn't work and it appears to be a routing problem back to the machine I'm pinging from, which is connected to the second router. Diagnostics -> Routes shows the following line:
192.168.91.0/24 192.168.204.1 UG1 34 1500 vmx2.204Which is correct, I'm on 192.168.91.153, but pings get lost. If I now add a static route to 192.168.91.0/24 in pfSense, the pings miraculously work. The routing table again says the same 192.168.91.0/24 line.
Am I doing something wrong here or what is the deal? I don't see any priority in the pfSense routing table, I tried setting the weight in FRR neighbor to maximum, but that did nothing.

Actually after I restart pfSense, the flags change from UG1 to UGS, but otherwise it works the same with or without restart.

Any ideas?
Edit: I forgot to mention the routing works when package is coming from LAN, but doesn't work when it's coming back from WAN.
