Jane, Couldn't you just use a full BGP feed from a provider and configure your inbound route-map/policy with the necessary parameters to obtain the part of the BGP table that you want? Or if this is just to populate something in a lab with a specific set of BGP info, you could obtain a copy of the table from someplace like route-views and load up the lab router or MRT (or equiv) in the lab and massage the table data within the lab. If this is for a customer/production router, I suppose you could coordinate with the upstream provider to do something similar with their outbound route-map/policy so that you only get a partial table. ___________________________________________________________ Wayne Gustavus, CCIE #7426 Operations Engineering Verizon Internet Services ___________________________________________________________ -----Original Message----- From: Pawlukiewicz Jane [mailto:pawlukiewicz_jane@bah.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2002 1:54 PM To: nanog@merit.edu Subject: Big meetings should never be held at noon! Hi, We ran out of time. Anyway, question for the best network operators in America, and beyond. Is there a way to download _part_ of a BGP table from a router? Can I use something like logic, sql to download just a piece, a specific piece of the BGP table? I can't believe this is impossible... Thanks for any help on this, Jane
