Here you have same route exported via Juniper border, local ASN 20940 is prepended by default:

Hi Radoslaw, In your case, how should BIRD know in what ASN the routes are originating? The AS number appears when you do export via eBGP session. And it uses local ASN for that.

I would add that one is not supposed to have different local ASNs for different BGP instances that form coherent BGP router, unless it is configured as BGP confederation or manually patched by filters. -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'Santiago' Zajicek (email: santi...@crfreenet.org<mailto:santi...@crfreenet.org> <mailto:santi...@crfreenet.org<mailto:santi...@crfreenet.org>>) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
