[irrtoolset]other sources ?
by Pierfrancesco Caci 15 Dec '04

15 Dec '04

Hello, if I use RtConfig with -h whois.ripe.net, it returns me only data from source: RIPE. I'd like it to include also data from RADB, I know that RIPE mirrors other registries' data, but I fail to understand how to use '@RtConfig set sources = "RIPE,RADB" ' ... is this the correct syntax ? Is this the right way to do it ?

[irrtoolset]Rtconfig problem
by Daniel Sanchez 24 Nov '04

24 Nov '04

Dear Mr or Miss, I am trying to set up RtConfig at CERN, to replace a local tool. In particular, I want to use an override file including local RPSL objects. However when running RtConfig with the -f option, it does not seem to take into consideration the objects in the override file, except for aut-num objects. As far as I remember, at the LIR course (here in Geneva, October 2004) we were told that any RPSL object could be put into the override file. Questions: - Do you confirm that only aut-num objects are accepted by RtConfig in an override file to be used with the -f option? - If so, what do you recommend if you want RtConfig to process local RPSL objects, which, for practical reasons, cannot be put into the RIPE data base? - Are there examples of RtConfig usage anywhere I can take as guidelines? yours sincerely, Daniel Sanchez

[irrtoolset]peval & whois.ripe.net
by Fredrik Widell 18 Nov '04

18 Nov '04

Hi all, currently (and for the last 1-2 weeks) I am utterly unable to fetch/make filterlists for peers with large as-sets, to mee it seems whois.ripe.net is quite unresponsive, and sometimes even delivers the wrong results with peval, the example I have most trouble with atm below: peval -h whois.ripe.net -protocol ripe -no-as "AS702 AS702:RS-EURO AS702:RS-CUSTOMER" mostly, this justs exits with a "141 pipe broken", but, sometimes the result is ((AS702)) which is very far from the truth. So, can I still trust ripe-dbm to create my filterlists? or should I get other means to make my filters? -- Regards /Fredrik ------------------------------------------------------- KTHNOC, KTH, S-100 44 Stockholm, Sweden +46 8 790 65 17 -------------------------------------------------------

[irrtoolset]generating import filters with RtConfig
by Francesco Ferreri 05 Nov '04

05 Nov '04

Dear all, I'm quite new to RtConfig, I would like to know how I can generate import filters both using prefix lists and as-path lists. Playing around with RIPE test database I got this: if I specify an import policy in such a way: import: from ASx accept ASy (having a route object for ASy), then "@RtConfig import ASx <ip-addr-x> ASy <ip-addr-y>" gives me back a filter based on prefix lists. Otherwise, if I specify an import policy (or similar): import: from ASx accept <^ASy+$> then I get back a filter based on an as-path. So the main difference seems to reside in the way the aut-num object is written: using simple AS names gives prefix list filters, using regular expressions on AS names gives as-path based filters, am I right ? Is there a way to combine both things to obtain both types of filters for the same peering relationship ? Thank you in advance and best regards, Francesco Ferreri -- ----------------------------------------- Francesco Ferreri NaMeX - Nautilus Mediterranean Exchange Via dei Tizii 6b, 00185 - Roma Tel. +39-0644486.302 E-mail: f.ferreri(a)namex.it WWW http://www.namex.it -----------------------------------------

[irrtoolset]exit code
by Alexander Moskalenko 03 Nov '04

03 Nov '04

Hello! I use RtConfig in some scripts, but sometimes it cant get information from RIPE DB. In result it returns an empty output. I cant find any information about which exit code returned in this case. Could anyone explain which exit code returned in which situation?
