One of the handy Cisco IOS routing commands is to display the protocol neighbors. That allows troubleshooting determination if the other router is "listening". You might want to consider adding that feature to the client.

BIRD taking 50% CPU with RIP and 90 Routes
by Florian Lohoff 18 Jun '00

18 Jun '00

Hi, i have seen a very high load produced by bird on one of my machines. I am basically using the beneath config. I think it has something to do with a misconfigured device not having enabled Split Horizon. The Ascend Max announced the local ethernet ip address so bird deleted the local ethernet route but couldnt add the route with a gateway because the kernel returned "host unreachble". With this configuration and 12 hours runtime the process grew to 25MB (With only ~90 Routes) and took at least 50% CPU time. Somebody got an idea ? Due to a braino myself the machine is now - aehm - unreachable and about 400km away - I have to get someone to reboot then ill send logfile output. ----------- log syslog { info, remote, warning, error, auth, fatal, bug }; protocol kernel { scan time 120; export all; } protocol device { scan time 120; } protocol rip ripd { debug all; interface "eth0" { mode quiet; mode broadcast; }; honor neighbor; authentication none; import filter { print "importing"; accept; }; export filter { print "exporting"; accept; }; } --------------------------------- Flo -- Florian Lohoff flo(a)rfc822.org +49-waiting-4-telekom "If you're not having fun right now, you're wasting your time."

2.0 kernel compile fails

On an older, originally Slackware, kernel 2.0 system, I get configure --disable-client make ... make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/routing/bird-1.0.0/obj/proto/static' gcc -o ../bird nest/all.o filter/all.o proto/bgp/all.o proto/ospf/all.o proto/pipe/all.o proto/rip/all.o proto/static/all.o conf/all.o lib/birdlib.a lib/birdlib.a(io.o): In function `sk_open_unix': /usr/src/routing/bird-1.0.0/obj/lib/io.c:777: undefined reference to `SUN_LEN' make[1]: *** [../bird] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/routing/bird-1.0.0/obj' make: *** [all] Error 2 What is missing here? Thanks for releasing bird, I still haven't determined the 'correct way of thinking' to get gated running smoothly. I like the connection to the advanced routing features in 2.4 kernels too. r
