Troubles with aliased interfaces
by Nicolas Olivier 12 Dec '04

Hello, I'm getting trouble to setup bird with aliases. When a bird is bound on an IP assigned to an alias, it will answer with the IP of the interface, not the alias one, which is a bit ennoying. If someone got an easy way to do such setup, it will be greatly appreciated. Nicolas Olivier.

Propagating my IPs via BGP
by Michal Kurka 12 Dec '04

Hi. I'm assuming that this list is in English only (no czech). I use Bird for BGP-routing. I need to propagate to my ISP a new IP-segment (e.g. 100.101.102.0/24) newly assigned by RIPE. My config-file contains: ------------------------------------------------------------------ log "/var/log/bird.log" all; protocol kernel { persist; scan time 20; learn off; export all; } protocol device { scan time 10; } protocol bgp { local as $MY_AS; neighbor $ISP_PEER as $ISP_AS; export all; } ------------------------------------------------------------------ I assigned IP 100.101.102.1/24 to an eth-device (direction to LAN) and I expected that Bird make scan a device and take an IP to BGP. But my ISP says that nothing received. Where have I a mistake? Thanks for answer. -- Michal Kurka - Mysak spravce serveru 'kapsa.club.cz'

Hi all. Time ago I've asked the question about growing birds memory. Few days ago I've found dirds debug output :-). Here is all dumps in attached archieve (tar.gz) In short: just right after start bird has less then 2M of memory in my system, Next day memory becomes 37M and after two days of uptime - 64M. At the another machine bird does not growing ... The differens is only in firewall rules - I don't accept packets from untrusted RIP neighbors.
