I released version 1.0 of my routers configuration
generator.
It can generate the complete BGP configuration (neighbor
statements,
route maps, prefix and as-path lists) of peering or
customer-facing
routers using RPSL data, a local configuration file and a
configuration
template based on the popular Template::Toolkit perl
package.
Currently I only provide an IOS configuration template, but
it should be
easy to write one for JUNOS (patches are welcome!).
I know that it's being used in production by several ISPs
in the RIPE
and APNIC region, so if you are not satisfacted by
irrtoolset I think
it's worth some consideration.
It can be downloaded from htt
p://www.linux.it/~md/software/rpsltool-1.0.tgz
and is free software released under the terms of the GPL.
(I think that I advertised it enough, so future releases
will be
announced on the project mailing list.)
Major changes since the last public release:
Modularized and cleaned up the code.
Added the routesdiff program (formerly part of my
cisco-tools package),
to show which routes are actually not being accepted from a
peer.
Added the testpeerfilter program, to test the effect of a
filter on a
peer without actually loading it on the router.
Added the nagpeer program, to automatically generate reports
of bugs in
the RPSL objects published by a peer.
Added the rpslexpand, to quickly perform RPSL expansion from
the
command line.
Added the findextraobjs program, useful to identify obsolete
entries in
peers configuration files.
Added documentation.
