<br>
we can't remove the -S flag as IXP administrators would then have no
control over that IRR databases are being queried. Some databases
contain good quality data and others not so much.<br>
<br>
However, you can control this yourself via the IRRDB Configuration
option in the left hand side admin menu and then setting the is each
customer's profile as appropriate. E.g. some networks are RIPE only,
others may be global and require multiple sources.<br>
<br>
IXP Manager installs a bunch of options by default:<br>

<br>
bgpq3 also has some useful notes on this:<br>

<br>
<br>Can we remove the -S flag that the IRR update is invoking??
<br>
<br>I had some time to track down some issues regarding IRR issues with
BGPQ3 querying RADB that seems to affect mostly North American IXPs. I
ran this off a test box. We have a member AS14237 - IXPManager sees the
following prefixes in the IRR listing:
<br>
<br>root@ixp:/home/pemmons# /usr/bin/bgpq3 -S 'RADB' -h 'whois.radb.net'
-l
pl -j -m 24 'AS14237'
<br>{ "pl": [
<br> { "prefix": "38.126.240.0\/22", "exact": true },
<br> { "prefix": "38.126.248.0\/21", "exact": true },
<br> { "prefix": "68.64.234.0\/24", "exact": true },
<br> { "prefix": "192.198.233.0\/24", "exact": true },
<br> { "prefix": "204.48.136.0\/21", "exact": true },
<br> { "prefix": "206.72.88.0\/22", "exact": true }
<br>] }
<br>
<br>They are short a bunch of prefixes.
<br>
<br>root@ixp:/home/pemmons# /usr/bin/bgpq3 -h 'whois.radb.net' -l pl -j
-m
24 'AS14237'
<br>{ "pl": [
<br> { "prefix": "38.123.224.0\/23", "exact": true },
<br> { "prefix": "38.126.234.0\/23", "exact": true },
<br> { "prefix": "38.126.236.0\/23", "exact": true },
<br> { "prefix": "38.126.240.0\/22", "exact": true },
<br> { "prefix": "38.126.248.0\/21", "exact": true },
<br> { "prefix": "45.41.164.0\/22", "exact": true },
<br> { "prefix": "45.61.64.0\/22", "exact": true },
<br> { "prefix": "68.64.234.0\/24", "exact": true },
<br> { "prefix": "192.198.233.0\/24", "exact": true },
<br> { "prefix": "204.48.136.0\/21", "exact": true },
<br> { "prefix": "206.72.88.0\/22", "exact": true },
<br> { "prefix": "216.152.248.0\/21", "exact": true }
<br>] }
<br>
<br>In short RADB doesn't mirror any other datasets this member uses.
They
don't have an account with RADB; the entries listed there are proxy
entries from providers.
