[nsp] BGP filter issue

Hi,

Sean the following are some Notes I took when the filter was implemented
and the output of the commands is somewhat modified but the main chunks
are there.
 

The output for a network that was not in the table is as below.

router#sh ip bgp 64.0.199.0
% Network not in table

This network was three AS hops away and was using the default route and
connecting just fine. 

vgw#sh ip bgp 67.83.204.0
BGP routing table entry for 67.83.204.0/24, version 79530961
    19262(Verizon) 6128 (Cablevision) 

This network (ie our people using Cablevisions Cable Service) which is
two AS-s away had major problems connecting. We ran some MTR-s and we
were constantly getting over 80% packet loss to these guys)

Thanks again,

Alban

What would be an example of the networks for both remote clients the
fail and succeed?  Maybe include a sh ip bgp x.x.x.x for the networks as
well.  I will be traveling all day and will not be back on email until
tomorrow.

Hi Sean,

Here is some of the output from the command you suggested.
This output is taken from another router that has the same filter
applied. For the moment I can not put the filter back on the original
router.

router#sh ip bgp regexp   ^19262 [0-9]+$
BGP table version is 79535136, local router ID is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Status

With the filter in place, can you look at the output of show ip bgp
regexp ^19262 [0-9]+$ to see if it is matching as you expected it to?

Hello,

 

Recently I experienced a weird issue with our internet connection.

 

We have a Cisco 7200 connected to our ISP ( Verizon).

A month ago we applied a bgp filter on the inbound that would accept bgp
routing updates only from our neighbor AS and the one next to it.

 

ip as-path access-list 6 permit ^19262$

ip as-path access-list 6 permit ^19262 [0-9]+$

ip as-path access-list 6 deny .*

 

Last week we started having issues with the internet connection for
several employees that connected remotely to our network. After some
research we figured that people that were connected to ISP-s that were
no more then two AS hops from us were having the problem ( and we could
find their networks in the bgp table ). On the other hand people who
were more then two AS hops away were just fine. Their networks could not
be found in the bgp table (as excpected  because of the filter ) and
they were taking the default route outside.

 

We took the filter out today and everything is back to normal.

 

Can anybody explain this? Is it a bug? A design flow? Is it the ISP?

 

 

Thanks in advance

 

Alban
