opendaylight bgp-linkstate not making "loc-rib"

Question

ODL version: Carbon

I'm having a problem with getting BGP-LS into the Network Topology. As you can see from below REST output, I set up "bgp-example" and homed to an external eBGP linkstate peer. "effective-rib-in", "adj-rib-in", and "adj-rib-out" all populate - but "loc-rib" does not. For some reason, it is not inheriting the linkstate afi/safi.

I tried debugs for bgp & karaf but saw nothing out of the ordinary (that I could see) - any help would be much appreciated.

thanks Erik

Answer 1

OK, figured this out.... turns out I had not enabled LINKSTATE afi/safi in the global config for ODL BGP. I had to DELETE my existing global config, then POST, add neighbors, peers, etc. Now I have the linkstate DB in the loc-rib, AND it's made it to the network topology - BUT - no idea how to view this topology via DLUX....
