Implementing BGP-Signaled SR Policy on Nokia 7750 SR

In the previous post, we discussed the SR-Static policy on the local router. Do we have the option to create a policy and advertise to other routers in the network? Then yes, it is possible to send the SR policy from the centralized controller or from the SR-OS routers within the network.

Let’s configure and advertise the SR policy from ASBR1 using BGP for PE3 to PE5.

It’s like the previous configuration, but the only difference is we mention the headend router ip address of PE3.

PE3 to PE5 SR policy

Enabling the sr-policy ipv4 in bgp family and importing the sr-policy, the sr-policy-import command in bgp allows the static policy to be advertised in BGP except for the local policy.

PE5: Adding color to the route advertisement from PE5 to PE3



Add the policy in VPRN import/export policy

We can see the PE5 adding the color while advertising the routes to PE3
