It is important to note that the BGP route for 112.123.118.23/32 can never become active on the ASBR
SR-Testing-Adn-PE because the Next-Hop is identical to the NLRI Prefix.

As a result, the IGP administrative distance of the Legacy core router's BGP-LU routes must be more
favorable than that of the BGP-LU routes from the Legacy core routers in the same environment.
Additionally, the Legacy Core routers will not operate ISIS as their routing protocol.

As a result, the Next-Generation Core ASBRs in a given state must configure a specific OSPF
administrative distance for the loopback addresses of Legacy Core routers, ensuring they are not
assigned a value of "210" by the ospf 101 distance 210 command. This applies to any OSPF node
originating a BGP-LU route where the Next-Hop is the same as the advertised prefix, and the node is not
running ISIS as the routing protocol.

It is essential that the BGP-LU CMN OSS routes are made active in the IP Routing Information Base (RIB)
on the Next-Generation Core routers. This prevents inband management traffic from non-OSPF routers,
such as SPEs configured with BGP-LU/ISIS, from being blackholed when sent to the OSS networks.

Conclusion:
When a BGP-LU route is originated by a PE/Core router for its
own loopback address, it advertises the Segment Routing (SR)
Index and a label of Implicit-Null. The ASBR propagates the BGP-
LU route while preserving the received SR Index. It then
calculates a new label from its own SRGB based on the received
Index and sets it as the NLRI label. Additionally, the ASBR
modifies the BGP Next-Hop to itself (next-hop-self).

In essence, the ASBR ensures continuity in the SR label path

while updating the next-hop details—efficient routing with
seamless SR label preservation!
