[ixpmanager] Allow a peer with the same AS number as the route-servers

Hello everyone,


I would like to know how I can modify/add so I can allow a peer with the 
same ASN as the route server ASNs.


Reason is our IXP doesn't have separate ASNs for management and 
Route-Servers, and I need to announce the ASN other prefixes that 
provides a few tools to the users (Looking Glass, Graphs, etc).


We do have a /23 prefix, which a /24 is allocated to the IXP Exchange 
VLAN, and the other /24 is for management purposes. We do need to 
announce that /24 management address using the same ASN that run the 
route-server service.


I tried adding a Internal User and Peer with the AS, but IXPManager/Bird 
doesn't create the BGP sessions for that peer.


Let me know what I need to edit to allow this behavior.


Best regards

--
