Dear list,

I recently found a strange bgp behaviour on the fesx 424 Premium
(Version 03.2.00cT3e3) after I implemented some blackhole mechanism
according to the Team Cymru http://www.cymru.com/BGP/bogon-rs.html the
same configuration on a xmr is working very well.


If I send a route with the community 65000:666 the router should send
this route to null (drop).

Configuration:

ip as-path access-list 66 seq 5 permit ^$
ip community-list BLACKHOLE seq 5 permit 65000:666                 

ip route 10.10.10.10 255.255.255.255 null0                        

route-map  BLACK_HOLE permit  10                                  
 match as-path  66                                                
 match community  BLACKHOLE                                       
 set ip next-hop 10.10.10.10                                      
 set community  no-advertise                    


This is working very well with all Networks except the 0.0.0.0/X. which
will be allways set to 0.0.0.0/0. By the way quagga/zebra seems to have
nearly the same bug, except that its below /8.

Example 1 NOT working ( 0.0.0.0/8 )

XMR:
sh ip bgp
*>i 0.0.0.0/8         10.10.10.10            300    0      i

sh ip route
1       0.0.0.0/0          172.16.1.1   ve 2         110/1      O2  
2       0.0.0.0/7          DIRECT          drop         200/0      B   

FESX:
sh ip bgp
*>i 0.0.0.0/0          10.10.10.10                 300    0      i

sh ip route
 0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         172.16.1.1   v2         1      O   



Example 2 working ( 2.0.0.0/8 )

XMR:
sh ip bgp
*>i 2.0.0.0/8          10.10.10.10            300    0      i

sh ip route
4       2.0.0.0/8          DIRECT          drop         200/0      B   

FESX:
sh ip bgp
*>i 2.0.0.0/8          10.10.10.10                 300    0      i

sh ip route 
2       2.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       255.255.255.255 drop
B   


Does anyone else see some similar problems ?

Regards
	Erich
