DESCRIPTION

     The bgpq utility is used to generate cisco access/prefix-lists, cisco as-
     path access-lists, GateD network filters and Juniper policy-statements
     (as-path-groups and prefix-lists) based on RADB data.

     The options are as follows:

     -A      try to aggregate routes

     -a      print all routes uncommented

     -b      display keys that do not exists in RADB database

     -c      include commandline in output

     -d      increase debugging level

     -e      generate standard access-list

     -F format
             generate user-formatted output. See section Formatted Output for
             details.

     -f number
             generate as-path access-list using number as 'starting AS' (see
             examples for explanation)

     -G number
             generate output as-path access-list using number as 'starting AS'
             (see examples for explanation)

     -g      generate GateD network filter

     -H      do not print headers to access-list.

     -h host
             host with irrd (can be set with IRRD_HOST environment variable)

     -i      generate input packet filter

     -J      generate Juniper policy-statements for 'load merge'

     -j      generate Juniper policy-statements for 'cut-n-paste'

     -l name
             name of generated access/prefixlist

     -o      generate output packet filter
     -s      print statistics about

     -S source
             use only specified source (RIPE or RADB, for example).  There can
             be more than one source, separated with commas (And not by spa-
             ces, please, that makes getopt(3) crazy).  Sources can also be
             set with IRRD_SOURCE enviroinment variable. Default set:
             RADB,RIPE,APNIC.

     -v      print nice prompt describing current operation
     "objects" mean networks (in prefix aka a.a.a.a/b format), autonomous sys-
     tems (in ASnnn format) and as-macros (AS-xxxx format).  You may also use
     RPSL format for networks as well.


EXAMPLES

     Generating prefix-list for AS3319 using host sivka as a radb mirror.
     bgpq -h sivka AS3319
     !generated with bgpq
     no ip access-list extended UNKNOWN
     ip access-list extended UNKNOWN
      permit ip host 194.44.31.0 host 255.255.255.0
      permit ip host 194.44.158.0 host 255.255.255.0
      permit ip host 194.44.162.0 host 255.255.255.0
      permit ip host 194.44.164.0 host 255.255.255.0
      permit ip host 194.44.170.0 host 255.255.255.0
      permit ip host 194.44.192.0 host 255.255.255.0
      permit ip host 194.44.193.0 host 255.255.255.0
      permit ip host 194.44.194.0 host 255.255.255.0
      permit ip host 194.44.195.0 host 255.255.255.0
      permit ip host 194.44.196.0 host 255.255.255.0
      permit ip host 194.44.197.0 host 255.255.255.0
      permit ip host 194.44.216.0 host 255.255.255.0
      permit ip host 195.178.128.0 host 255.255.224.0
     ! overlayed by 195.178.128.0/19 in the same AS3319
     ! -  permit ip host 195.178.136.0 host 255.255.254.0
     ! overlayed by 195.178.128.0/19 in the same AS3319
     ! -  permit ip host 195.178.150.0 host 255.255.255.0
     ! overlayed by 195.178.128.0/19 in the same AS3319
     ! -  permit ip host 195.178.128.0 host 255.255.255.0
     ! overlayed by 195.178.128.0/19 in the same AS3319
     ! -  permit ip host 195.178.130.0 host 255.255.254.0
     ! overlayed by 195.178.128.0/19 in the same AS3319
     ! -  permit ip host 195.178.132.0 host 255.255.255.0
      deny ip any any

     As you can see, this access-list includes all unique non-overlapped net-
     works, and those overlapped - commented out. You can use -a to print
     overlapped routes uncommented or -q to do not print them.

         Note, that certain routes (e.g. 194.44.192.0/24 and 194.44.193.0/24)
     can be aggregated, so -A option does this for you:
     bgpq -h sivka -qA AS3319

         Now try to use some RPSL filters - for example to allow any /24 spe-
     cific from 194.44.0.0/16 block to pass our generated prefix-list:
     bgpq -h sivka -APql AS3319-IN AS3319 194.44.0.0/16^24
     !generated with bgpq
     no ip prefix-list AS3319-IN
     ip prefix-list AS3319-IN permit 194.44.0.0/16 ge 24 le 24
     ip prefix-list AS3319-IN permit 195.178.128.0/19
     You can see, that the PPSL filter refined all specifics into one string.

         Another useful feature of bgpq is a possibility to generate as-path
     access-list s. For generation you need to specify 'starting AS' number,
     because it's not possible to determine it based on RADB data. In next
     example we will build as-path access-list 88 to filter AS-LUCKY from
     AS3254 :
     bgpq -h sivka -f 3254 -l 88 AS-LUCKY
     !generated with bgpq
     no ip as-path access-list 88
     ip as-path access-list 88 permit ^3254(_3254)*$
     ip as-path access-list 88 permit ^3254(_[0-9]+)*_(3319|6876|8192|8258)$
     ip as-path access-list 88 permit ^3254(_[0-9]+)*_(8464|8601|8813|12593)$
     ip as-path access-list 88 permit ^3254(_[0-9]+)*_(12984|13027|13032|13103)$
     ip as-path access-list 88 permit ^3254(_[0-9]+)*_(13107|15458|15461|15595)$
     ip as-path access-list 88 permit ^3254(_[0-9]+)*_(15615|15682|15820|16002)$
     ip as-path access-list 88 permit ^3254(_[0-9]+)*_(16165|16223|16329|20586)$
     ip as-path access-list 88 permit ^3254(_[0-9]+)*_(20754|20790|20839|20949)$
     ip as-path access-list 88 permit ^3254(_[0-9]+)*_(20971|21011|21131|21219)$
     ip as-path access-list 88 permit ^3254(_[0-9]+)*_(21256|21257|21310|21354)$
     ip as-path access-list 88 permit ^3254(_[0-9]+)*_(21432|24621|24664|24682)$
     I think, this feature is not really useful because this type of filtering
     is much less strict then extended access-list or prefix-list filtering.
     For example, in the case of wrongly configured peer router you can get
     fullview with all routes 'originated' from peer AS.


RPSL Syntax

     The below is just a cite from RFC2622

         ^- is the exclusive more specifics operator; it stands for the more
     specifics of the address prefix excluding the address prefix itself.  For
     example, 128.9.0.0/16^- contains all the more specifics of 128.9.0.0/16
     excluding 128.9.0.0/16.

         ^+ is the inclusive more specifics operator; it stands for the more
     specifics of the address prefix including the address prefix itself.  For
     example, 5.0.0.0/8^+ contains all the more specifics of 5.0.0.0/8 includ-
     ing 5.0.0.0/8.

         ^n where n is an integer, stands for all the length n specifics of
     the address prefix.  For example, 30.0.0.0/8^16 contains all the more
     specifics of 30.0.0.0/8 which are of length 16 such as 30.9.0.0/16.

         ^n-m where n and m are integers, stands for all the length n to

     bgpq -h sivka -F "ipfw add pass any from %r:%m to any in via xl1\n" AS3254
     !generated with bgpq
     ipfw add pass any from 62.244.0.0:255.255.192.0 to any in via xl1
     ipfw add pass any from 193.124.50.0:255.255.255.0 to any in via xl1
     ipfw add pass any from 193.193.192.0:255.255.224.0 to any in via xl1


Renewing access-lists whith files

     You can 'renew' access-list in case of changed AS-macro and so, if they
     were created with -c (include commandline in output) option, and stored
     in some file.  To renew access-list just use bgpq -r filename , where
     filename is the location of stored access-list.


Generating Juniper as-path-groups/prefix-lists

     There are two options for generate Juniper policy-statements - -j which
     generates 'scripts' used to cut and paste them from terminal to juniper
     and -J which creates configs used to use with 'load merge' command on
     juniper.

DIAGNOSTICS

     When everything is ok, bgpq generates access-list to standard output and
     exits with status==0.  In case of errors they are printed to stderr and
     program exists with non-zero status.


BUGS

     No one known in code (yet ? :) ), many in documentation (English is not
     my native :( )
