CLICOL PLUGIN ASPATH

Plugin for clicol which helps troubleshooting by resolving sitecodes for AS path.

Example

 Default append view:
 * i  10.0.35.48/28    10.123.123.158           0    100      0 21302 13979 65120 64932 ? ATT ABC --- EFH
 *>                    10.123.234.154                         0 21302 13979 65120 64932 ? ATT ABC --- EFH
 Or the inline view:
 * i  10.0.35.48/28    10.123.123.158           0    100      0 21302(ATT) 13979(ABC) 65120 64932(EFH) ?
 *>                    10.123.234.154                         0 21302(ATT) 13979(ABC) 65120 64932(EFH) ?

Configuration

In ~/.clicol/plugins.cfg there must be a section for the plugin.

Example with defaults:

 # AS Path resolver:
 [aspath]
 # disable until not configured
 active=no
 # view (append|inline)
 #outtype=append
 # database file default
 #dbfile=~/.clicol/plugin-aspath.db
 # what to print on unknown AS
 #unknownstr=---
 # Force dotted format for 4bytes AS numbers (no need to reconfigure router!)
 #forcedotformat=no

Format of database file: {ASNUM}\t{DESCRIPTION}\t{SITECODE}

3 columns required, more columns are ok. Column separator is TAB! Example:

21302	AT&T EAME	ATT	-	Vendor
13979	AT&T NA	ATT

I was using tbaschak's asdot-asplain library for 4byte AS number conversion. Thanks!
