When both "add-path multipath" and "advertise-inactive" are configured under BGP, and a BGP route is inactive, multipath flag is reset and multipath is not formed. As a result, "add-path multipath" will not process these inactive routes to a peer with "add-path" capability. Consequently, inactive BGP routes are not advertised to that peer, despite the "advertise-inactive" setting. This issue is seen only with peers that support "add-path" functionality, below configuration can cause this issue: set protocols bgp advertise-inactive set protocols bgp group XXX neighbor X.X.X.X family inet unicast add-path send multipath set protocols bgp group XXX neighbor X.X.X.X family inet6 unicast add-path send multipath Below CLI command can be used to monitor the issue: user@device> show route x.x.x.x user@device> show route advertising-protocol bgp <neighbor-address>
The following symptom can be noticed with this issue:
This is a software defect and addressed.
