Hello,
I face a problem when configuring RIP with MD5 authentication in bird.
I find no examples in configuring bird this way, so maybe this could be
added to the documentation.
This is the bird configuration I use:
protocol kernel {
scan time 20; # Scan kernel routing table every 20 seconds
export all; # Default is export none
learn;
device routes;
}
protocol device {
scan time 10; # Scan interfaces every 10 seconds
}
protocol direct {
interface "eth0";
}
filter rip_export {
# redistribute connected
if ( source = RTS_DEVICE ) then {
print "net accepted:", net;
accept;
}
reject;
}
protocol rip RIP {
debug all;
honor neighbor;
authentication md5;
passwords {
password "secret";
};
port 520;
interface "eth0" {
mode multicast;
};
import all;
export filter rip_export;
}
I tried to configure bird with the configuration above to connect to quagga
(v0.99.23.1) and also to another instance of bird (v1.4.4 and v1.5.0). In
both cases I get an error message in the logs that the authentication has
failed:
Nov 11 15:39:12 AVILA err bird: MD5 tail signature is not there
Nov 11 15:39:12 AVILA err bird: RIP: Authentication failed
In case I use plain configuration (authentication plaintext) instead of MD5
then the boxes connect successfully and routes are exchanged.
Do I use a wrong RIP configuration or is this a bug in bird ?
Best regards,
Alexander Velkov
