Hello, I have two mikrotik routers with the internet public networks in a VRF and bgp running happily until I tried to add a second router which also had its internet network in a VRF. BGP just sits there at connect. If I remove the VRF on one of them, it all of a sudden connects. If the BGP desintation is not inside a VRF (well I assume it is not or the other end is not mikrotik, it works fine). I emailed mikrotik support and apparently there is a known issue with connecting two bgp peers if both ends are inside a vrf. Anyone else seen this and have any work arounds? I am running MPLS on the same router so I would prefer to keep the public internet on its own VRF.
