Recently I adjusted the maxas-limit option on our router, logs started r=
eporting routes being refused because the AS path is to long. seems to wo=
rk as expected.
when I looked at the logs I was a bit confused at what i was looking at... =
why is it there are multiple AS's in the path that appear to be the same =
AS? I expected an AS path comprised of mostly unique ASs.
instead of this:
476330: Nov 10 14:55:07.247 EDT: %BGP-6-ASPATH: Long AS path 549 26677 6939=
21011 43022 43022 43022 43022 43022 47359 47359 47359 47359 47359 47359 47=
359 47359 received from isp router: More than configured MAXAS-LIMIT
i expected it would look more like:
476330: Nov 10 14:55:07.247 EDT: %BGP-6-ASPATH: Long AS path 549 26677 6939=
21011 43022 47359 received from =85 .. .
thanks for your time again,
greg
