CEF problem - Traffic forwarding

Wed Sep 10 18:41:29 UTC 2014

Hello, 

I have a very strange problem on my ASR-1006 BRAS router. 

This router is having two equal paths toward a P router via IS-IS. The BRAS is seeing the P router over the two paths and the two paths are installed in the RIB and FIB as follows:

bng.rams.ca.asr1#sh ip cef 10.10.10.141 internal 

10.10.10.141/32, epoch 3, RIB[I], refcount 6, per-longest-match-prefix sharing
  sources: RIB, LTE 
  feature space:
   IPRM: 0x00028000
   Broker: linked, distributed at 1st priority
   LFD: 10.10.10.141/32 1 local label
   local label info: global/592
        contains path extension list
        disposition chain 0x7FCE5CB8C440
        label switch chain 0x7FCE5CB82FC0
  ifnums:
   GigabitEthernet0/0/0(8): 172.17.11.9
   GigabitEthernet1/0/0(24): 172.17.11.17
  path 7FCE67248388, path list 7FCE5FF51A40, share 1/1, type attached nexthop, for IPv4
    MPLS short path extensions: MOI flags = 0x0 label implicit-null
  nexthop 172.17.11.9 GigabitEthernet0/0/0, adjacency IP adj out of GigabitEthernet0/0/0, addr 172.17.11.9 7FCE5C406958
  path 7FCE6724B5B8, path list 7FCE5FF51A40, share 1/1, type attached nexthop, for IPv4
    MPLS short path extensions: MOI flags = 0x0 label implicit-null
  nexthop 172.17.11.17 GigabitEthernet1/0/0, adjacency IP adj out of GigabitEthernet1/0/0, addr 172.17.11.17 7FCE5079A540
  output chain: IP adj out of GigabitEthernet0/0/0, addr 172.17.11.9 7FCE5C406958

The problem is, CEF is seeing the two paths equal, but the output chain is only having one exit interface and the traffic is traversing this interface only!

This is the interface config:

bng.rams.ca.asr1#sh run all | sec 0/0/0
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0

 mtu 1600
 ip address 172.17.11.10 255.255.255.252

So, what do you think?
