Hi Toni, what version are you comming from... if you are priorto 6.4 or 6.5 (I cant fully remember One of the Biggest changes was RFC 8212 where route filter policies went from allow all announcements by default to deny by default... announce all and announce self were depreciated
Check out /etc/examples/bgpd.conf which has a nice examples of best practice with the new syntax you will see the new syntax and you will see how you can create groups of prefixes (for instance yourown prefixes) and another group for transit customer prefixes etc.. then you just create filters to accept your prefixes to your upstream peers... man bgpd.conf will show any other syntax that may be depreciated... ( I have nevever set the softreconfig I *think* it is now a default ... I hope this helps, Tom Smyth On Mon, 19 Dec 2022 at 11:59, Toni Mueller <openbsd-m...@oeko.net> wrote: > > > Hi, > > I am trying to upgrade an OpenBSD based BGP router from an old version > to 7.2.
