Newbie question:

If I do: route-views>sho ip bgp 4.0.0.0 BGP routing table entry for 4.0.0.0/9, version 821994

why do I see the /9 and not the /8 by default? If I do a specific lookup for 4.0.0.0/8 it is there as well.

I'd guess because that's the way routing lookups work; the more-specific match always "wins". -- Chris Adams <cmadams@hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
