Chuck, You need to make the deny '^5555 .*'. Assuming you are putting this on an EBGP router peering with AS5555.
"ip as-path access-list 55 deny ^5555 .*" The '^' is an anchor in regex and forces a match at the beginning of the input string you are comparing. IE: Whatever is after the '^' must start at the beginning of the string being compared to match and make the epxression true. To see if you are getting anything from AS5555 try: "show ip bgp regexp ^5555 .*" Good way to test your regexp as well. -Julian ""Chuck Larrieu"" wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > 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?
