Hi all,
(obsd3.8 / i386)
So fare I've used 'weight' and 'localpref' between our peers in order to
put one in favour of the other (mainly for pricing). Now I'm adding
third peer and wan't to use AS path prepending in ordet to compensate
for one of my old peer's inappropriate peering agreements in .eu making
the old peer a sort of "backup peer" only.
I expect that the attribute 'prepend-self' is the one I should use one
the peer I wan't to prepend/prefix/make less attractive, like:
neighbor $slowjoe {
remote-as xxxx
descr "slowjoe"
set localpref 100
set weight 45
announce self
announce IPv6 none
tcp md5sig passwd xxxxxxxxx
prepend-self 2
}
... right ?
And while I'm at it:
- if I wan't to make sure that $slowjoe is chosen as a last resort, how
many times (0-9) should I prepend ?
- in short, how will the 'prepend-[self|neighbor]' attributes affect the
'localpref' and/or 'weight' ?
- In contrast to 'prepend-self' when should the 'prepend-neighbor'
attribute be used ?
Thank you in advance.
