Hi, Okay, I think there is a misunderstanding. Or maybe I am totally wrong. Please correct me if I am.
a.b.c.0/22 is my range d.e.f.124 is my bgp01 public ip of the /29 transfer net between my bgp01 and the big router (d.e.f.121/29) of my peering uplink So if I want to advertise my own public ips (a.b.c.0/22) to my peering uplink (so called to the internet) shouldn't I make it like this: protocol static static_bgp { ipv4; route a.b.c.0/22 via d.e.f.124; } protocol bgp link1 { local d.e.f.124 as XXXX; neighbor d.e.f.121 as YYYY; #d.e.f.121 is the first router of my peering uplink 1 ipv4 { import all;export where proto = "static_bgp"; }; } I want to import all from them so I know the internet and how to route.... and I want to export stat-ic_bgp so the internet know's me?

Hi > protocol static static_bgp { > ipv4; > route a.b.c.0/22 via d.e.f.124; > } I think this is the problem, as d.e.f.124 is your local address, then this route is probably not allowed locally (because you should not have route directing to a local address) and therefore likely not propagated to BGP. Simple solution is to have the static route defined as unreachable route: route a.b.c.0/22 unreachable; You would have more specific routes in the routing table anyways and when the unreachable route is propagated by BGP, the local address will be attached as next hop automatically. -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'Santiago' Zajicek (email: santi...@crfreenet.org) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
