Hey Guys, <br>
<br>

Thanks for that. I just put the <handle> etc in to clean the info for you. I was having issues with the 32 bit ASN and it ended up bringing up issues with parsing the config. The second I ran a 16bit ASN through it it ran perfectly without errors.

I ran in debug and it told me about the parsing error (ERROR: non-zero return from ${BIN} when parsing $dest) then I ran that actual command myself and it came up with a (ERROR on line 183) of the router config which for me, was<br>

I read slightly up from it about the 16 & 32 bit ASN and put in a private range ASN just to try the theory, and it ran without fail. I have had it running every 5 min for 6 hours and hasn't failed once.<br>

I'm going to give APNIC a call tomorrow and see if they can get us a 16bit ASN asap.<br>

What Nick is talking about here is this improvement we made this morning:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://github.com/inex/IXP-Manager/commit/4372d79a57de24b8bf4547383bfd9603291f77b1">https://github.com/inex/IXP-Manager/commit/4372d79a57de24b8bf4547383bfd9603291f77b1</a><br>
<br>
<br>
This won't affect IXP Manager directly and wouldn't have stopped Bird <br>
from running with a 32bit ASN.<br>
