Prefixes
List Generators
As a convenience to our customers we have available an online tool for generating prefix and AS lists. It essentially builds a list appropriate for applying at the customers’ end of their peering link based on registered routes in the DB. We currently send out emails to interested parties of route updates, but this method enables a user to get an up to date list whenever they would like. For clients who filter the routes they receive via the IX, it provides an easily accessible mechanism for ensuring their filters are always up to date.
Prefix Lists
This script is available at:
http://tools.pipenetworks.com/generate_out_lists.php
Simply pass it the following:
- aut_num = Your ASN
- source_aut_num = ASN of PIPE Route server
- type = The type of prefix list you want. Such as cisco_prefix_list, cisco_acl or raw
Optional arguments
- acl_no = You can specify an ACL number for an applicable type
- acl_name = You can specify an ACL name for an applicable type
Example usage:
generate_out_lists.php?aut_num=65000&source_aut_num=9722&type=cisco_prefix_list
Would generate a list for a customer whose ASN is 65000 connected to our QLD IX (ASN 9722), and the list would be generated as a Cisco prefix list.
Note: type raw just spits out a list of networks and masks
You may wish to use a tool such as wget to retrieve the lists.
EG:
wget -O output \ http://tools.pipenetworks.com/generate_out_lists.php?source_aut_num=9722\&aut_num=65000\&type=cisco_prefix_list
As path lists
This script is available at:
http://tools.pipenetworks.com/generate_as_lists.php
Simply pass it the following:
- source_aut_num = ASN of PIPE Route server
- type = The type of as path list you want. Such as cisco or raw
Optional arguments
- acl_no = You can specify an ACL number
Example usage:
generate_as_lists.php?source_aut_num=9722&type=cisco
Would generate a list for our QLD IX (ASN 9722), and the list would be generated as a Cisco AS path list.
Note: type raw just spits out a list of ASNs
You may wish to use a tool such as wget to retrieve the lists.
Eg.
wget -O output \ http://tools.pipenetworks.com/generate_as_lists.php?source_aut_num=9722\&type=cisco
