Didn't we move away from those telecom trunks some time ago? :angel:

Mystery solved, great edit! Explains the prefix gap. Guess they would now have added another route with a lower weight or local preference to minimise future failures between the two...

Those two networks are resiliently directly connected, the issue was what one of them was advertising to the other rather than connectivity issues.

Ah well!

So, not so much fat fingers as a not properly tested failover mechanism?

I'll keep that one in mind next time I hose the network by accidentally bridging the wrong interface... :-P

The sequence in which my fingers fell on the keyboard was merely a series of unfortunate events, sir!

Wasn't a typo or trunking the wrong VLAN, it was a mistake highlighted by 'a series of unfortunate events'. In itself it would've been okay.
