Hi All<br>
<br>
Is there some bgp rule that says sub AS's in a confederation are not
allowed to be non contiguous?<br>
<br>
I have :<br>
<br>
<tt>router bgp 1234<br>
bgp confederation identifier 1234<br>
bgp confederation peers 65000 <br>
neighbor 4.4.4.4 remote-as 65000<br>
neighbor 4.4.4.4 ebgp-multihop 255<br>
neighbor 4.4.4.4 update-source Loopback0<br>
address-family ipv4<br>
neighbor 4.4.4.4 activate<br>
neighbor 4.4.4.4 allowas-in</tt><br>
<br>
But I see:<br>
<br>
<tt>*Mar 1 05:49:03.922: BGP(0): 4.4.4.4 rcv UPDATE w/ attr:
nexthop 1.0.0.1, origin ?, localpref 100, metric 0, originator
0.0.0.0, path (65000 1234), community , extended community <br>
*Mar 1 05:49:03.930: BGP(0): 4.4.4.4 rcv UPDATE about 1.1.2.0/24
-- DENIED due to: AS-PATH contains our own AS;<br>
*Mar 1 05:49:03.934: BGP(0): 4.4.4.4 rcv UPDATE about 1.0.0.1/32
-- DENIED due to: AS-PATH contains our own AS;</tt><br>
<br>
'allow-as in' works as expected when they are not confed peers<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
Dave
