Hi, I had setup a private test network with the following information to test openbgp:
OBSD-01 ------- AS: 65213 IP: 10.0.111.77 OBSD-02 ------- AS: 65123 IP: 172.16.111.77 My /etc/bgpd.conf configuration for OBSD-01 and for OBSD-02: # OBSD-01 AS 65213 router-id 10.0.111.77 network 10.0.111.0/24 neighbor 172.16.111.77 { remote-as 65123 descr "link to OBSD-02" } # filter out prefixes longer than 24 or shorter than 8 bits deny from any allow from any prefixlen 8 - 24 # do not accept a default route deny from any prefix 0.0.0.0/0 # filter bogus networks deny from any prefix 10.0.0.0/8 prefixlen >= 8 deny from any prefix 172.16.0.0/12 prefixlen >= 12 deny from any prefix 192.168.0.0/16 prefixlen >= 16 deny from any prefix 169.254.0.0/16 prefixlen >= 16 deny from any prefix 192.0.2.0/24 prefixlen >= 24 deny from any prefix 224.0.0.0/4 prefixlen >= 4 # OBSD-02 AS 65123 router-id 172.16.111.77 network 172.16.111.0/24 neighbor 10.0.111.77 { remote-as 65123 descr "link to OBSD-02" } # filter out prefixes longer than 24 or shorter than 8 bits deny from any allow from any prefixlen 8 - 24 # do not accept a default route deny from any prefix 0.0.0.0/0 # filter bogus networks deny from any prefix 10.0.0.0/8 prefixlen >= 8 deny from any prefix 172.16.0.0/12 prefixlen >= 12 deny from any prefix 192.168.0.0/16 prefixlen >= 16 deny from any prefix 169.254.0.0/16 prefixlen >= 16 deny from any prefix 192.0.2.0/24 prefixlen >= 24 deny from any prefix 224.0.0.0/4 prefixlen >= 4 Invoking "/usr/sbin/bgpctl" reload then doing "/usr/sbin/bgpctl -n show" resulted in to the following: For /usr/sbin/bgpctl: reload request sent. request processed For /usr/sbin/bgpctl show: Neighbor AS MsgRcvd MsgSent OutQ Up/Down State/PrefixRcvd 172.16.111.77 65213 0 0 0 Never Active 10.0.111.77 65213 0 0 0 Never Active My reference was the paper written by Claudio Jeker (www.openbsd.org/papers/linuxtag06-network.pdf). I just replaced the IP address with my setup but as we can see in Up/Down as well as in State/PrefixRcvd in my result, it is in contrast with the result reflected in his paper. Please advise if I did missed something down here. Regards, Demuel
