Hi SAM,

Just a thought. It seems to me that locally generated prefixes need to have
an empty ASPath, otherwise iBGP peers will not understand them. The ASPath
prepend feature is use to influence the routing decissions of eBGP peers, so
it only makes sense to change this attribute when peering to another AS.

Cheers,
Ato.

Subject: BGP Network Command with Route-map Option!

Team,
I was trying to use the "Network x.x.x.x mask x.x.x.x route-map ADD". The
route map ADD was addetivly changing the as-path and adding a community to
the route.
 
After configuring everything, only community was getting its way to the
local BGP table and consequently to the neighbours as well. The as-path
preappend was not working.
 
When i use the same "route-map ADD" with the command "neihbour x.x.x.x
route-map ADD", both community and as-path gets their way to neighbours.
 
So i am saying that the problem is not in the Route map or the neighbours.
 
Any ideas why the as-path can't be preappended with a route-map in the
"network x.x.x.x route-map ADD"?
 
Thanks
SAM
