    <p>Nishal,</p>
    <p>I appreciate your feedback and totally understand where you
      coming from. But keep in mind that not all of us work in the
      environment and have to face different challenges. There are valid
      situations under which you might want to (selectively) disable
      prefix filtering. Hence, my question.<br>
    </p>
    <p>BTW: As mentioned you can already turn off prefix and AS path
      filtering altogether by unchecking "Apply IRRDB Filtering" on a
      logical port.</p>
    <p>Apologies for TOFU.<br>
    </p>
    <p>Cheers<br>
    </p>

      no doubt you know this already, but that’s a really dangerous
      thing to do.  i’d be loathe to see ixpmanager support a feature
      that creates a false sense of security.  as a user, and sometimes
      assistant to get ixpmanager running at other ixps, if this option
      _were_ to be available, i’d really like to see it not made visible
      via the UI, because the temptation to “not prefix filter” to fix a
      problem for a loud peer, is just too easy.
      <br>
      <br>
      our story:
      <br>
      since we’ve migrated away from our (time-consuming) home-grown
      filter set, which took into account “friendly mistakes/accidents”
      by peers, and started using automated filtering based on IRR
      objects (via ixpmanager), we’ve had a few peers grumble and moan
      because now _they_ have to do the work of resolving IRR
      mismatches.  but overall, we think that’s a good thing;  we work
      with, and support them in doing that, and we even hold training
      classes where we work through how to get this, and rpki done. 
      which we think is a good thing, because it all contributes to
      building the community.  and, of course, makes things just a
      little bit safer.
