I am trying to cover bgp this weekend and came across quite a tricky issue :
Router A and Router B use to have bgp neighbor relationship.
Router A has new admin and new AS. It has no control over router B.
Router A reconfigures his bgp configuration with new AS but in order to keep the old neighbor relationship with B it uses the local AS command.
But, the new admin on router A does not know the old AS.
I have tried several ways to identify the AS from debug commands without any success.
BGP notification on A "wrong AS message" only shows part of the payload of the first packet.
BGP notification on B "wrong AS message" shows the entire payload of two packets inclusive of the correct AS. Since I don't have access to router B I can't see the notification mesage.
I wish routers ran etherreal ..:-)
Also, no confederations to be used.
Anyone like to take a byte at it ...
