Betreff: non forwarding/filtering BGP Communities to AS3214 xTom causes DECIX looking glass filter error

Gepostet von Maximilian Baehring am Mittwoch, Februar 5., 2025 (06:51) ***

Hello!

Your BGP-Community Passthrough Policy is understood. So to avoid the DeCIX looking glass error message would you please be so kaind and add ON YOUR SIDE (WHERE "THEY" ALLOW IT) the community 3214:2000 (frankfurt), (optionally 3214:2100 duesseldorf not seems to be the problem) 3214:2200 (hamburg), 3214:2400 (munich), for my IPv4 route 193.109.132.0/23 orginating in AS21158?

If you use something like bird the following pesudo config for exported routes should work:

if (bgp_path ~ [= 21158 * =]) then {
bgp_community.add((3214:2000));
# bgp_community.add((3214:2100));
bgp_community.add((3214:2200));
bgp_community.add((3214:2400));
}

the AS3214 xTom communities are documented in ripe-db

https://apps.db.ripe.net/db-web-ui/lookup?source=ripe&key=AS3214&type=aut-num

3214:2n0x (n: frankfurt=0, duesseldorf=1, hamburg=2, munich=3)
AS prepend (x=1 2,3) times or (x=0) for do not announce) DeCIX

Hi Maximilian,
Yes, xTom ask us to don't let downstream use their community.
So, we filter 3214* out, others one is allowed.

Best regards,

Hello

please see the attached screenshot of the ULR-link
https://lg.de-cix.net/search/?q=193.109.132.0%2F23

I tried to fix that myself by adding bgp communities

AS3214 xTom:
https://apps.db.ripe.net/db-web-ui/lookup?source=ripe&key=AS3214&type=aut-num
3214:2n0x (n: frankfurt=0, duesselforf=1, hamburg=2, munich=3)
AS prepend (x=1 2,3) times or (x=0) for do not announce) DeCIX

here is the output fo my router

show route export as*** all
193.109.132.0/23 via 193.109.133.249 on as*** [as21158 2025-01-24] * (100) [AS21158i]
Type: BGP unicast univ
BGP.origin: IGP
BGP.as_path: 21158
BGP.next_hop: ***
BGP.med: 0
BGP.local_pref: 100
BGP.community: (3214,2000) (3214,2100) (3214,2200) (3214,2300)

you seem not to forward this communities to your AS3214 peer, am I right?
