FreeBSD bugs ;)

[Pawel Tyll]

Hi list,

After  using  bird  for  some  time  now,  I've found few things that are
annoying me, or simply break things that should work flawlessly ;)

bird> show protocols all [some BGP protocol]
    Routes:         19186 imported, 2 exported, 84627 preferred

My guess is that it has something to do with pipes.

I have multiple pipes that do
import filter {
  if proto="[some BGP protocol]" then accept;
  reject;
};


Problem 2:

bird's reality:
ng6 up (index=35)
        PtP Multicast AdminUp LinkUp MTU=1492
        local.ip/32 (Primary, opposite 192.168.16.35, scope univ)
vlan3372 up (index=36)
        PtP Multicast AdminUp LinkUp MTU=1492
        local.ip/32 (Primary, opposite 192.168.16.171, scope univ)
ng7 up (index=37)
        PtP Multicast AdminUp LinkUp MTU=1492
        local.ip/32 (Primary, opposite 192.168.17.123, scope univ)


reality's reality:
ng4: flags=88d1<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,NOARP,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1492
        inet local.ip --> 192.168.16.35 netmask 0xffffffff
ng6: flags=88d1<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,NOARP,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1492
        inet local.ip --> 192.168.16.171 netmask 0xffffffff
ng7: flags=88d1<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,NOARP,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1492
        inet local.ip --> 192.168.17.123 netmask 0xffffffff
# ifconfig vlan3372
ifconfig: interface vlan3372 does not exist

Above happened after I decided that I don't feel like wanting vlan3372
and  changed  it  to  something  else.  In  the meantime some customer
decided to open PPPoE session, not knowing this will spell his doom :>

bird   also   happily  ignores  interface  name changes, which hinders
nice features such as interface "name*" etc.


Thanks for reading. :)
