Hi, sorry for this low-level question, but at least I'm not posting in html. :) My company owns a class C, and we're switching ISPs. The "new" provider is telling us that they can start announcing, without us having to tell the old provider to stop announcing. I.e., a 2-3 day period where both are announcing our class C. This conflicts with my extremely (admittedly)limited knowledge. Can someone let me know if this is OK/not OK?
If you are going to have your link up to both providers during that time, it would not be a problem. However, if your /24 is nailed into the tables of your previous provider, and your link to that provider is down, then the old provider will create a blackhole for /24 for anyone who prefers the path presented by your old provider. In general, one really *should* coordinate switching between providers if ones' announcement is originated by the provider. Alex
Thanks in advance, Mike Michael Donahue WATG (949) 574-8500 x261
