Good morning fellow bird users,<br>
<br>
I was wondering how you handle "dynamic reconfigurations" such as<br>
rerouting, adding filters, changing the priority of routes in case of<br>
attacks?<br>
<br>
In particular I wonder if there is a "good way" to tell bird to lower or<br>
raise a certain route temporarily, i.e. something that would be reset on<br>
a reload? Or to tell bird to forget about specific routes that you want<br>
to filter for blackholing certain parts?<br>
<br>
So far in case of attacks we usually edit bird.conf, reload<br>
bird and after the attacks are done, purge/overwrite the config with our<br>
config management (cdist in our case).<br>
<br>
This works, but has a bit of a write-reload instead of a set-and-forget<br>
behaviour, and I was more looking to something like "set on a switch,<br>
but don't issue the write command"-mode.<br>
<br>
Any thoughts on this?<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
Nico<br>
