When you're announcing to the list that you are making changes to your BGP announcements it would help if people would: 1) State which AS these announcements are coming from. This helps me double check I'm making changes to the right route objects. 2) State which routers the BGP sessions are on. This helps me double check I'm making changes to the right route objects. 3) Give a list of all the prefixes you want announced in CIDR format. I'm happy to see a mention of the changes as well but having the complete list means I can be sure it's right. Posting the Cisco prefix list doesn't really help me that much as tthe route servers don't get configured by me cutting and pasting. Others may have different requirements but this info would really help me. For example, something like: We've added the following block to our announcement to the APE route servers: 222.222.222.0/24 Our AS is 34567 and the complete list we're announcing from 192.203.154.150 is: 222.222.219.0/24 222.222.221.0/24 222.222.222.0/24 ---- You can check what we think your filter lists look like by going to: http://www.ape.net.nz/cgi-bin/ShowRoutes.cgi http://www.wix.net.nz/cgi-bin/ShowRoutes.cgi
