Arnold,

Steve's suggestion is a good one. If you can not get answer from there, you can also try bgpd@merit.edu.

We see other cases like this. When you figure out what's going, please let us know.

Jessica,

there is an example in the latest BGP4 notes

ftp.cisco.com:ftp/bgp_beta/BGP4_notes

which should solve the problem. I'll try it tomorrow morning.

...

We can pass it to others. Thanks!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Route Filtering in a CIDR world

In current 9.21 software, access lists may be used as a mechanism to filter routing updates (either going to a particular neighbor or between routing protocols). Unfortunately, with the existing mechanism, there is no way to distinguish between 131.108.0.0 255.255.0.0 and 131.108.0.0 255.255.255.0, which poses a problem to CIDR users wishing to do advanced filtering of networks and masks.

In order to cope with this situation, we've hacked on the semantics for extended access lists so that you can use them to filter both networks and masks. (Yes, we think this is a kludge too.)

the syntax is:

access-list <list> [permit|deny] ip <net> <net-wildcard> <netmask> <netmask-wildcard>

Example: permit 192.108.0.0 255.255.0.0 but deny any more specific routes of 192.108.0.0 (including 192.108.0.0 255.255.255.0).

access-list 101 permit ip 192.108.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 0.0.0.0 access-list 101 deny ip 192.108.0.0 0.0.255.255 255.255.0.0 0.0.255.255

Example: permit 131.108.0/24 but deny 131.108/16 and all other subnets of 131.108.0.0

access-list 101 permit ip 131.108.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 accces-list 101 deny ip 131.108.0.0 0.0.255.255 255.255.0.0 0.0.255.255
