Yes, it generates more work to update the database, but OTOH it provides the LIII engineer with a lot more to troubleshoot issues. Is it simply not worth the work at your scale?
Exactly.
And you do not have to be at 701's scale for this to not work.
We've not had these issues and have been using bgp passwords/md5 for years. We do have a fancy configuration managment system in place, whereby people put things into the database first before they configure the router.
Sorry, in this particular post, we were (or at least I was) talking about having prefix filters for all your peers. I know I've talked a lot about MD5 lately, just thought it would be a nice change of subject. :) If you do prefix filter all your peers, that is impressive. Do you get out of sync a lot? Does it help keep the network more stable? Or do process problems make it worse than just max-prefixes on a peer? -- TTFN, patrick
