for an as-path filter, here is what I want to accomplish: from one particular router to another particular router I want to filter any AS path whose most recent AS was 5555
so if the BGP route has a path in the BGP table as 5555 1111 4444 ? or 5555 9999 ? etc then I want that route to be filtered to a particular neighbor routes such as 3333 5555 ? or 7777 2222 5555 3333, for example are OK to pass my access-list is: ip as-path access-list 55 deny ^5555_ ip as-path access-list 55 permit .* ! and my neighbor statement is neighbor a.b.c.d filter-list 55 out does the ^ character really mean what I think it is supposed to mean? I.e does it filter any AS path that BEGINS with 5555, or is it doing something unexpected? I have a complex mesh ( mess too ;-> ) of BGP neighbors, and it is a bit hard to tell if I am accomplishing what I think I am accomplishing. thanks.
