1st working day after 1 week off

[GeorgeS]

Been on vacation for a week and in my 1st day back there is CHAOS. In a project i was working, someone somewhere messed something with the BGP (was lucky to find it as i consider myself a noob with bgp. If i find the courage i will write more later) and from that moment there is an annoying admin(server guy), who things that all the problems relies on the network end and the last 2/3 hours to my firewall!!!

As Dean says, NOOOOOOOOOOO is not the FW.

I admit i forgot 1 rule of the 300 ones (approximately), but still that rule has nothing to do with his problems, told him a thousand times, check the other end. How it ended?

Hi George, we will take a look at this tomorrow

To be continued...

And this is my response when people ask me to work with BGP:

And this is my response when people ask me to work with BGP:

BGP is cool, lots of nerd knobs to turn.  Cold make ones career just with BGP.

Did you catch Ivan's blog today on route maps with BGP on ipspace.net ?

And the fun continues with different sites and bgp... some messed prefix list in the core (i believe is wrong the way the prefix lists are, why to have them there but is not up to me) and some crazy things. 1 site has been fixed yesterday after spending whole day. I hope today it will take me just half day for the other one as i already have a tiny idea of what is happening

@ristau5741 , i agree, but only if you are really a master of bgp and you spend a lot of your time, studying it.  For me is a pain in the ass, i really struggle with it. I have minimal experience and generally i never spend a lot of my time on it.  I believe most of the security guys i know they really feel me .
