<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyone now how to tell if BGP has been set up
correctly? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have two T1's... one through XO and one through
Quest. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>They are supposed to both being doing BGP for my
class C - 63.145.47.x. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Quest and XO say that the BGP stuff
is setup correctly, but I'm not 100% </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>sure that it is. </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>How
can I tell for sure? Is there a way to do a BGP query </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>for a ip address? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've tested it and I know that if I unplug one T1,
the traffic all comes in on the </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>other. That part works fine. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The problem is that late this afternoon, XO started
having routing problems so </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>we unplugged the XO T1. Traffic came in on the
QUEST T1 ok, but sometimes</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>from several external sites, we could do a
traceroute and see that XO tried to </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>take of the routing and it was failing becuase we
had the T1 powered off. If the </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>XO T1 was down, they never should have advertised a
BGP route for our </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>class C. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So... I need to know how to tell for sure.
