Nexus9000v and “Missing” Routes
I have built my lab for VXLAN on the Nexus9300v platform. Since I have a leaf and spine topology, there are ECMP routes towards the spines for the other leafs’ loopbacks. When performing labs though, I noticed that I didn’t have any ECMP routes in the forwarding table (FIB). They are in the RIB, though:
Leaf1# show ip route 203.0.113.4
IP Route Table for VRF "default"
'*' denotes best ucast next-hop
'**' denotes best mcast next-hop
'[x/y]' denotes [preference/metric]
'%<string>' in via output denotes VRF <string>

*via 192.0.2.1, Eth1/1, [110/81], 1w0d, ospf-UNDERLAY, intra
*via 192.0.2.2, Eth1/2, [110/81], 1w0d, ospf-UNDERLAY, intra
There is only one entry in the FIB, though:
Leaf1# show forwarding route 203.0.113.4?

This seemed strange to me and I was concerned that maybe something was Continue reading
