[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?

[irrtoolset]Announcement Routing Registry Training Courses
by RIPE NCC Training 21 Jul '04

21 Jul '04

Dear Colleagues, [apologies for duplicate postings] As a service to its members the RIPE NCC offers the "Routing Registry Training Course". The main objective of the "Routing Registry Training Course" is to familiarise the LIRs with the features of the Routing Registry, while introducing the relevant tools and services of the RIPE NCC. The course also offers practical exercises. OVERVIEW OF TOPICS COVERED IN THE COURSE: - Routing Registry as a part of the RIPE Whois Database and the Internet Routing Registry (IRR) - Specifying routing policies using (RPSL) Routing Policy Specification Language and the RtConfig tool - IRRToolSet - Routing Information Service (RIS) - Routing Registry Consistency Check Project Please note that this is an advanced course. It will: - NOT teach the basics of routing - NOT teach the basics of RIPE Database operations, - NOT describe how to receive Internet resources from the RIPE NCC - NOT describe how to operate a Local Internet Registry (LIR) The target audience of the course are technical staff of LIRs: e.g. network operators, engineers etc. This course is not intended for administrative or management staff (e.g. Hostmasters) . It is assumed that all attendees will be familiar with Border Gateway Protocol routing and with the RIPE Database (i.e. creating/modifying objects). This course is based on interactive exercises in a local network set-up. Please bring your laptops equipped with the following: - A working Ethernet card, - Three meters of Ethernet cable, - A secure connection client, - A web browser. Please be prepared to share your laptop (or at least allow another attendee to "look over your shoulder") if necessary. The Routing Registry Training Course is conducted in the English language and is free of charge, since it is covered by the membership fee. More information about the Routing Registry Training Course can be found at: http://www.ripe.net/training/rr/ REGISTRATION: You can register for a Routing Registry Training Course at the following URL: http://www.ripe.net/cgi-bin/trainingform.pl.cgi Or by completing the registration form at the end of this e-mail and replying to <training(a)ripe.net> . In order to register for a Routing Registry Training Course you must be an employee of an LIR and either: - be an LIR contact - be confirmed by an LIR contact LIR contacts are those employees of an LIR who are registered with RIPE NCC as authoritative contact persons. It is expected that most of those interested in the Routing Registry Training Course will not be an authoritative contact person for their LIR, and therefore will be, refused by the course registration "robot". In order to be admitted to the course, a confirmation e-mail must be sent to <training(a)ripe.net>.

[irrtoolset]IRRToolSet with support for latest RPSLng draft?
by Simon Leinen 12 Jul '04

12 Jul '04

Now that the RPSLng draft seems to have stabilized, and the pilot RPSLng registry supports draft-blunk-rpslng-05.txt, wouldn't it be great if the IRRToolSet could also be upgraded to that version? (Especially the requirement for trailing semicolons has been causing a lot of people pain when they tried to experiment with RPSLng.) Regards, -- Simon.

[irrtoolset]Problems with prtraceroute and prpath
by emas80＠tin.it 14 Jun '04

14 Jun '04

Hi, I have some problems in compiling these two utilities. I've succesfully downloaded the irrtoolset-20040308-1.patch (thank you glen!) and I've applied it so that I can compile with gcc3.3.1. But I can't compile, with the general Makefile, prpath and prtraceroute, so I used theirs Makefile but I get some errors. They are type-conversion errors, and so I can't resolve them without great truble by understanding the entire code... For example, in compiling prtraceroute I get "cannot convert `const MPPrefixRanges*' to `const PrefixRanges*' in assignment" in bgproute.cc line 1086, and of course compiler is right! Someone changed return type of the method "expandRSSet" in irr.hh... and so on... I tried to solve this and the other following 3 or 4 errors by casting (they aren't much more), but while it compiles correctly, it does not run correctly: I launched prtraceroute www.google.it and I got 1 * 2 * 3 * .... etc. etc. If I use the simpler traceroute I got the right gateways and the right route, so I think that it's a buggy program or, probably, I cant' cast everything I want... I hope someone could help me, 'cause I desperatly need a program with the characteristics of prtraceroute and prpath for a project for a school course. Thank you for the attention and sorry for my english, I'm italian. bye! Emanuele

[irrtoolset]problem with RtConfig generating remote-as
by Pavel Halfar 20 May '04

20 May '04

Hello, I am quite new to IRRTOOLS set, so my question might be covered somewhere else (but I haven't found answer anywhere) I have problem with RtConfig, which generates wrong line, here is setup : Local AS is AS15935 configured on router 194.50.100.45. I want to get import lines for neighbour 194.50.100.1 which is in AS25192 template file : @RtConfig set cisco_max_preference = 1000 @RtConfig set cisco_map_name = "AS%d-IMPORT-%d" @RtConfig import AS15935 194.50.100.45 AS25192 194.50.100.1 command line : RtConfig -h whois.ripe.net -p 43 -s RIPE -protocol ripe -cisco_use_prefix_lists < template_file what I get as result is : ! no ip prefix-list pl100 ip prefix-list pl100 permit 217.31.192.0/20 ip prefix-list pl100 deny 0.0.0.0/0 le 32 ! no route-map AS25192-IMPORT-1 ! route-map AS25192-IMPORT-1 permit 1 match ip address prefix-list pl100 set local-preference 500 exit ! router bgp 15935 ! neighbor 194.50.100.1 remote-as 15935 neighbor 194.50.100.1 route-map AS25192-IMPORT-1 in ! exit The problem is with line : neighbor 194.50.100.1 remote-as 15935 which I don't mind to be there, but it is wrong, because the remote AS is 25192, not 15935 (which is my local AS) The version of RtConfig I am using is (downloaded binaries from www.ripe.net) : elite@albert:~/ripe/Examples$ RtConfig -v RtConfig (IRRToolSet v4.8.1) katie@x9 Thank you very much for answer best regards, Pavel -- Ing.

[irrtoolset]RtConfig template error in import/export Group
by Peter Hudec 17 May '04

17 May '04

hi at first - I'm newbie with IRRToolsSet, so be patient with me :) I have problem with RtConfig and generating cisco configs witch importGroup and exportGroup (Error in template file). My setup is folloving - object perring-set: AS8679:PRNG-SIX - @RtConfig exportGroup AS8679 AS8679:PRNG-SIX It "crashes" on the ":" in the AS8679:PRNG-SIX (as I found in the source code and debuging) As the RtConfig generates cisco config it should write something like neighbor AS8679:PRNG-SIX peer-group - I don't think that this is also valid Has anyone solution (patch) to do - keep perring-set-name as it is - make RtConfig parse the line (with no template error) - generate valid cisco config I'm using IRRToolSet-4.7.3 (latest non-ng version).The latest ng version (IRRToolSet-4.8.1) has seqfault me (stable debian) My solution is to write patch (if doesn't exists) - add one more (optional) parameter to the importGroup/exportGroup line - @RtConfig exportGroup <ASn> <peering-set-name> [config-peer-name] - this will generate config line - neighbor <config-peer-name> peer-group best regards Peter Hudec -- Hlupi robia chyby z pracovitosti.
