In other words, for purposes of testing, there are ONLY two ways to remove things from the AS_PATH. 1) the technique you describe, which is to create an aggregate and advertise that aggregate only ( although refresh my memory - an aggregate might still contain full AS_PATH information - don't have my book handy ) OR to create an appropriate route to null 0, then enter that route into the BGP process, while filtering those that contain the AS_PATH you want to remove.
AS1-----------------------------AS2-------------------------AS3 192.168.x.x subnets ------advertised into AS2 ip route 192.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 null 0 bgp process command: network 192.0.0.0 mask 255.0.0.0 filter the more specific BGP routes. AS3 should see just the route to null 0, which does originate in AS2 do I have that right? Do you agree? -- ------------------------------------------------- Bullwinkle: Hey, Rocky, watch me pull a CCIE out of my hat! Rocky: Bullwinkle, that trick NEVER works....
