Prefix Lists - Ask The Expert

Hey Guys,

I mentioned last night on the R&S Groupstudy list that I'll be doing a live
Ask The Expert session discussing IP prefix lists today to help out with a
question Khurrum asked yesterday. Whilst I slept a few people wrote great
posts on the topic, helping to solve his specific question and from a
training standpoint that's really appreciated - knowledge should be shared.

If you'd like to attend please send me a unicast email and I'll give you the
URL to connect to the Adobe Connect session. At present we only have a small
group of attendees due to the impromptu nature of this free session, so if
you have a microphone we should all be able to talk just like in a normal
class. I've sent this to both the R&S and SP lists as I'll be explaining
prefix-lists by comparison to access-lists and then comparing how they can
both be used by BGP to filter traffic and demonstrate the greater
flexibility and ease of use of the prefix-lists (rather than the distribute
lists). If you have any extensions of the concept that you'd like to see
demonstrated, please let me know in your email and I'll try to accommodate.

The technical portion of the content will be recorded and made available on
the IPexpert web site after the session, so if you can't make it you should
still be able to download it. I'll also save the base and final configs
(whatever they may turn out be) and any snapshots that attendees find useful
(thanks to the save and load config function of Proctorlabs) so that you can
replicate the session later.

This will be a mostly unscripted interactive session (I'll have a simple BGP
topology setup so that we can experiment with different ideas) and some of
my R&S One Week Lab Experience students who are physically present will also
be attending, so at the end of the session I'll introduce everyone so that
you can help form a study group and make some connections if you feel like
staying on to chat for awhile.

The time for the session will be 11pm US EST / 8pm US PST (where I am right
now) and whilst I know that's late for many in the USA, most of the
attendees who have responded so far are from overseas and my class requires
my time until 8pm, so that's the rationale behind the late session.

I look forward to meeting those of you who respond.

Cheers,
