[irrtoolset]other sources ?
by Pierfrancesco Caci 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 ? Thank you Pf -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pierfrancesco Caci | Network & System Administrator - INOC-DBA: 6762*PFC p.caci(a)seabone.net | Telecom Italia Sparkle - http://etabeta.noc.seabone.net/ Linux paperino 2.4.20 #1 Mon Dec 2 17:02:14 CET 2002 i686 GNU/Linux

[irrtoolset]IRRToolset 4.8.2 - segfaults on SuSE9 under certain conditions
by Sandu Mihai 03 Sep '04

03 Sep '04

Dear all, I have managed to compile Irrtoolset on SuSE 9, using the compiler that comes with the dist. It compiles fine, but if I try to run: @RtConfig printSuperPrefixes "%p%l\n" filter AS-ROMANIA trough RtConfig it will segfault. The segfault occurs in malloc, called from src/irr/rawhoisclient.cc, on line 304 (there is a prev = strdup(buffer)). It will not segfault if I change the AS-set or if I use a certain AS (eg. @RtConfig printSuperPrefixes "%p%l\n" filter AS5606 works fine). Does anyone managed to get this beast to run without problems on Linux (compiled from the sources)? The only thing that works is a 4.7.3 binary that I've got from ftp.ripe.net, and only on Redhat 7.3. A 4.7.3 compiled from the source will not work. A 4.8.2 for Fedora downloaded from ftp.ripe.net, behaves the same. Best regards, Sandu Mihai GTS Telecom NOC Engineer

[irrtoolset]Virus Warning from the RIPE NCC
by Gerard Leurs 10 Aug '04

10 Aug '04

Dear Colleagues. We are sorry for duplicate emails. On Monday 9 August 2004, a virus (bagle) was mailed to several mailing lists operated by the RIPE NCC. Unfortunately, the virus passed through the filters of several of these lists. At the moment of writing we know this happened for the db-wg, eof-wg, routing-wg. And the wg-chairs. Please do not open any suspicious .zip files. Please make sure you delete any such mails. The RIPE NCC is working to resolve the issue. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused. Regards, Gerard Leurs, Operations department, RIPE NCC.

[irrtoolset]Error: badly formed AS_path filter
by Jason Lixfeld 09 Aug '04

09 Aug '04

I'm not sure what I'm missing here. When I pass the following through RtConfig, I get the above error. As per the man pages, RFC2622 states: "An AS-path regular expression can be used as a policy filter by enclosing the expression in ‘<’ and ‘>’. An AS-path policy filter matches the set of routes which traverses a sequence of ASes matched by the AS-path regular expression." I read that as meaning that my RtConfig line which reads @RtConfig aspath_access_list filter <AS577> should work fine. I'm using 577 as an example just to test things out. I'm not peering with 577 and have no relationship with them, however that shouldn't prevent me from being able to generate an as-path access-list using their information, should it?
