SRX

I have a simple routing-instance config:

GuestWifi {
instance-type forwarding;
routing-options {
static {
route 0.0.0.0/0 next-hop 7.91.187.65;
 

But this default route doesn't show up in routing table:

rahmad@aus-srx345-001> show route table GuestWiFi.inet.0

GuestWiFi.inet.0: 2 destinations, 2 routes (2 active, 0 holddown, 0 hidden)
+ = Active Route, - = Last Active, * = Both

7.91.187.64/29 *[Direct/0] 23:41:00
> via ge-0/0/8.0
7.91.187.66/32 *[Local/0] 01:05:42
Local via ge-0/0/8.0

Any ideas why isn't the default route showing up?

When I try to ping out of this instance, it says can't assign this address:

aus-srx345-001> ping cnn.com routing-instance GuestWifi
PING cnn.com (151.101.128.73): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: Can't assign requested address
ping: sendto: Can't assign requested address

Thanks.

hi,

not sure why you don't have default route in the routing instance - please show all relevant config (rib-group?) or just full SRX config if possible.

Regarding  ping, I think it's expected for forwarding type instance (no source IP/interface present in the instance)

Hello,

It is a strange thing.

As long as you have interface-routes in the GuestWifi (imported from inet.0), default route should be visible.

Do you have any filter to block the default route's import?

Can you share routing & policy related configuration?

I had a policy importing only Public Interface direct/locals into RIB group so that default-route could resolve next-hop but I have removed it. Still no 0/0 route.

interface-routes {
rib-group inet LocalISP;
}
static {
route 0.0.0.0/0 next-hop 7.91.187.65;
}

}
rib-groups {
LocalISP {
import-rib [ inet.0 GuestWiFi.inet.0 ];

 My goal is to let Guest users go to the local internet directly. Router default-instance has it's default-route pointing internally to a local next-hop. How else can I achive this?

Thanks.

Can you check if you have the ARP for 7.91.187.65?

"show arp interface ge-0/0/8.0 no-resolve"

This is my current gateway to the internet and it's working. I wasnt to add another default-route for the inet.0 and reserve this one just for Guests.

So ge-0/0/8 is up and working.

Thanks.

Hello,

So if I understand correctly, you want to use different default-gateway for Guest (on ge-0/0/8) while other traffic should use appropate default route in inet.0

Is my understanding correct?

That's correct.

Guests are on ge-0/0/6. Internet is on ge-0/0/8. On inet.0 I don't want to have a default-route pointing out of ge-0/0/8. There are some  VPN end-points that will continue to point out of ge-0/0/8 but actual default-route will be an internal interface/IP.

How many guestWfi do youhave defined?

GuestWifi <======= Lowercase

import-rib [ inet.0 GuestWiFi.inet.0

Change to import-rib [ inet.0 GuestWifi.inet.0

That was correct. I have WiFi and Wifi. 

Amazing part is that Interface routes did get into my RIB even though the two names were the same but different cases.

Thank you and Best Regards.
