FreeBSD and OpenBGPD

Hello friends,

I am trying to configure OpenBGPD and when starting the service I get the following error:

# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/openbgpd start

Code:
Starting openbgpd.
/usr/local/etc/bgpd.conf:79: Community 271802 is too large (max: 65535)
config file /usr/local/etc/bgpd.conf has errors
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/openbgpd: WARNING: failed to start openbgpd

This is the config file used:

# cat /usr/local/etc/bgpd.conf

Thank you for any help!

And who told you that I got it out of nowhere?

The information is real assigned by LACNIC!

But thanks for the interest

I found the problem...

ASN 16 bit is up to 65535

LACNIC now is assigning ASN 32 bit > 65535

The solution is comment the line

#match from ebgp set { community delete $ASN:* }

Now the service is working in testing ambient...


# bgpctl show summary


Code:
Neighbor                   AS    MsgRcvd    MsgSent  OutQ Up/Down  State/PrfRcvd
IPv4 Transit Provider A 13489       1033         29     0 00:13:24  26158
IPv6 Transit Provider A 13489        801         30     0 00:13:24  10362

Hope this helps others :)
