Peer "Maintenance"


One of the hardest things is that peers just go away
You observe this either by
SNMP trap on neighbor state change
'sh ip bgp sum' (neighbor is in Active state)
Someone sends you email

Problems include
Lost contact, and who knows what this is?
Routing of "Manning" Prefixes (198.32.163.100)

For a new peer, what routes do you want?
Customer
Full (advertised to customer)
Full (advertised to peer)
