I'm building a BGP test network and I'd like to replicate a full route table on a few of my routers. I thought I might be able to use Quagga and insert a rib dump, but I'm not finding a lot of info on if it's possible. (I've pinged the quagga list and didn't get any response)
So my question is, is it possible to feed a router on a private test network a full route table from a RIB snapshot? I have to think someone has done it and I'm just not searching for the right things.
Well first of all do you have a rib dump? If not see http://routeviews.org/ for source material. Specifically http://archive.routeviews.org/ and ftp://archive.routeviews.org/ As for inserting it into Quagga, I'm not sure how to go about doing that. Various google searches don't turn anything up. I was planning on looking into this problem in a few weeks anyway. I'm building a network test bed and having full BGP tables is a part of my testing. When I figure it out I'll post to the list unless its figured out before then. -- Charles N Wyble (818) 280-7059 http://charlesnw.blogspot.com
