:Hello again list.
:I come back to you with this problem cause it has been bugging me for weeks
now.
:please if anyone has any input, share :)
:
:So the thing is that the updates i'm getting to my $livebgp neighbor seem to
only to be originating from
:2 of the almost 10 connected hosts in the group peers. (one of the 2 is
actually my closest BGP router)
:i'm checking with bgpctl show and seeing updates coming to me from other
connected peers, but my openbgpd
:only sends out ones from my closest AS and one more.
:
you are crossing ASes. the relevent part of the man page for bgpd.conf says:
announce (all|none|self|default-route)
If set to none, no UPDATE messages will be sent to the neighbor.
If set to default-route, only the default route will be announced
to the neighbor. If set to all, all generated UPDATE messages
will be sent to the neighbor. This is usually used for transit
AS's and IBGP peers. The default value for EBGP peers is self,
which limits the sent UPDATE messages to announcements of the
local AS. The default for IBGP peers is all.
:How can i emulate an IXP route server functionality so that my $livebgp peer
gets ALL updates from ALL the hosts
:in the group peers???

:thank you very much!
