Re: look for BGP routes containing local AS#

[Song Li <refresh.lsong () gmail com>]

Hi Joel,

It is right that the BGP route containing the local ASN will be droped. 
However, such routes can still be displayed on router. For example, you 
can run "show route hidden terse aspath-regex .*<local ASN>.*" on 
Juniper to check them. We are looking for those routes. If you can run 
the command on your Juniper and find such routes, could you please 
provider them for us?

Thanks!

Regards!

Song
