Same here on our XMR's. We always need to enter in the remote-as first.

Somewhat on this topic, are there any Foundry techs or employees that
read and respond on this list? I've only been joined to it a short time
but haven't noticed any responses from foundrynet.com addresses at all.
That's one nice thing about the cisco-nsp list is that several Cisco
employees reply to postings periodically.

I may know someone at Foundry who would be interested in engaging people
on this list in the service provider industry... unless he's already on
it. :)
