I plan so experiment with allowing some kind of "Remote IX" service (basically a Bird router with legs on both IXP vlans and some community rules) and seems i will run into the same issue that i need to have a separate ASN from the ASN i already have allocated/sponsored

<div>Hi Tom,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>An ASN, among other things, defines a specific routing policy, and in the case of route servers, that’s multilateral peering as defined by rfc7947. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The route server configuration explicitly prevents the same peer ASN peering with them. This is very much on purpose.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In your case, there’d be the additional issue of your routes potentially having no ASN or, inexplicitly and unexpectedly, having the route server ASN suddenly appear on your members' routing tables. Remember - route server ASNs are transparent.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>When I last looked, ASNs from LACNIC had a once-off allocation fee. The best thing to do here is to register a new ASN for the IXP’s own management systems. This is what most IXPs do, including INEX.</div>

<div>Subject [ixpmanager] Allow a peer with the same AS number as the route-servers</div>

<p>Hello everyone, <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>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.
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>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).
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>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.
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I tried adding a Internal User and Peer with the AS, but IXPManager/Bird doesn't create the BGP sessions for that peer.
<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Let me know what I need to edit to allow this behavior. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Best regards<br>
