Bird 1.0.22 and FreeBSD
by Xavier Beaudouin 23 Jan '09

23 Jan '09

Hello, I am trying to make run Bird on FreeBSD (1.0.11 was running on it, with the port that has being done), but it seems that tcp md5 features are not really supported as the same way it is on Linux. Until I figure how to adapt that on it, is there any good way to desactivate it during compilation? Thanks, /Xavier

bird as route-server
by Harald Michl 23 Jan '09

Hi! I'm new to the list and new to bird, but know a little bit about bgp and what i want: I want to use bird as a route-server in an ixp environment. If I configure a peer as rc client, i get a syntax-error at "rs client;". The config command should exist according to the documentation... I append the peer-config. Has anyone a hint? I use Version 1.0.11-4. thanks for your answers, Harald protocol bgp AS64002 { local as 64000; neighbor 10.203.0.2 as 64002; rs client; hold time 240; startup hold time 240; connect retry time 120; keepalive time 80; # defaults to hold time / 3 start delay time 5; # How long do we wait before initial connect error wait time 60, 300;# Minimum and maximum time we wait after an error (when consecutive # errors occur, we increase the delay exponentially ... error forget time 300; # ... until this timeout expires) next hop self; # Disable next hop processing and always advertise our local address as nexthop path metric 1; # Prefer routes with shorter paths (like Cisco does) default bgp_med 0; # MED value we use for comparison when none is defined default bgp_local_pref 100; # The same for local preference source address 10.203.0.254; # What local address we use for the TCP connection export all; } -- Harald Michl <harald.michl(a)univie.ac.at> Vienna University - ACOnet www.ACO.net - VIX www.VIX.at Universitaetsstrasse 7, A-1010 Vienna, Austria, Europe Tel: +43 1 4277 - 14078 (Fax: - 9140) HM3550-RIPE

Syntax error on BIRD Configuratrion
by Mo Shivji 16 Jan '09

16 Jan '09

Hi I am in the process of testing BIRD and am having a problem with starting BIRD with a simple BGP peering configuration I get this error when I load the configuration, $bird# /sbin/bird -c bird.conf bird: bird.conf, line 21: syntax error This is my configuration, --------------------------------------- $bird # more bird.conf router id 192.168.253.5; protocol kernel { persist; # Don't remove routes on BIRD shutdown scan time 20; # Scan kernel routing table every 20 seconds export all; # Default is export none } protocol device { scan time 20; # Scan interfaces every 10 seconds } protocol direct { interface "*"; } protocol bgp { local as 8714; neighbor 10.0.0.1 as 1234; source address 10.0.0.254; import all; } --------------------------------------- The errors says there is a a systax error where I I specify the neighbor that my server peers with. I can not see anything wrong here. Am I missing something ? Mo
