Hi Michal, theres some confusion on your question. first of all you wont get that easy an AS number from you regional internet registry. :) The classic definition of autonomous system is a set of routers using an interior routing protocol to route packets within that AS and using exterior (BGP) protocol for routing packets to others ASes (RFC 1771). Usually these AS number are reserved for providers dealing with at least 2 peering neighbors (running multi-homed, maybe CIDR block, routing policy for that block...). How to use AS number is described in RFC1930. I recommend reading both. AS number 64512 through 65535 are defined as private AS number. Private As number must not to be advertised on the global internet. AS numbers to owner mapping are available to public. (whois your RIR)
Beside that, theres some config error. When you connect to a BGP+4 peer over an IPv6 link-local address, you have to specify the ifname of the interface used for the connection. # BGP Command: neighbor PEER remote-as AS-Number > neighbor 3ffe:506:1000::2 remote-as 7675 Theres no need trying to peer to your local AS. You have to annouce your own network. (actually router bgp 7675 is /your bgp process) just a quick dump, no clarification :] Cheers Josip Eremut ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michal Ludvig" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, July 09, 2002 2:47 PM Subject: BGP confusion > Hi all, > I'm a little confused about using the AS numbers in IPv6 sites.
