bird ospf and ipv6
by fredrik danerklint 23 Mar '11

23 Mar '11

Hi! I have compiled bird from git with "git clone git://git.nic.cz/bird.git" on FreeBSD 8.2. (btw, why is the version on that 1.2.3 according to sysdep/config.h when there is an 1.2.5 release?) I've got ospf running on ipv4 between this machine and a OpenBSD-curent running OpenOSPF. They both can see eachother and also their lo1loopback interface where there is an ipaddress of an /32 net which ends on OpenOSPF with .1 and .4 on the bird. There is also an /128 net for the ipv6 part. This addresses is ping-able from both machine so the route does exists as expected. Now, I took that working configuration of bird and changed it to bird6. protocol ospf o6 { tick 2; area 0.0.0.0 { interface "vlan15" { hello 3; cost 7; }; interface "lo1" { stub yes; cost 1; }; }; } Bird can see and do inject the routes from OpenOSPF but can't see (?) the routes from bird6. bird> show route 2a03:xxxx:xxxx::xxxx:f01/128 via fe80::1e6f:65ff:fe81:c4ef on vlan15 [o6 15:53] * I (150/7) [xx.xx.xx.1] 2a03:xxxx:xxxx::xxxx:fc0/127 via fe80::1e6f:65ff:fe81:c4ef on vlan15 [o6 15:53] * I (150/7) [xx.xx.xx.1] 2a03:xxxx:xxxx::xxxx:fd0/127 dev vlan15 [o6 15:48] * I (150/7) [xx.xx.xx.4] bird> quit Now, why is bird6 showing that the routes should route via the link-local addresses? If bird6 is announcing that to OpenOSPF I can see that it won't add that route. -- //fredan

Problem with redistribute static routes from venet (openvz pseudointerface)
by Łukasz Chrustek 21 Mar '11

21 Mar '11

Hello, I would like to import routes (ips exactly, with netmask /32) added by openvz virtualization to main ruting kernel table, when the virtualization system starts. I don't want to be misunderstand, but in quagga it works :), and I would like to test (and switch to) bird. Unfortunetly in bird I can't see the routes(ips) from venet0, see below. My configuration (most important parts, if You think You will need more, please let me now): protocol direct { interface "-eth*", "venet*"; # Restrict network interfaces it works with } protocol kernel { learn; # Learn all alien routes from the kernel persist; # Don't remove routes on bird shutdown scan time 20; # Scan kernel routing table every 20 seconds # import none; # Default is import all import all; export all; # Default is export none # kernel table 5; # Kernel table to synchronize with (default: main) kernel table 254; } protocol static { import all; #route X.Y.10.61/32 via "venet0"; #route X.Y.10.60/32 via "venet0"; #route 192.168.1.51/32 via "venet0"; #route 192.168.1.140/32 via "venet0"; #route X.Y.10.64/32 via "venet0"; #route X.Y.10.65/32 via "venet0"; } Above configuration (with route) doesn't work either, so I commented this out. protocol ospf MyOSPF { tick 2; import all; export all; # export filter { # ospf_metric1 = 1000; # if source = RTS_STATIC then accept; else reject; # }; # rfc1583compat yes; area 0.0.0.0 { #networks { # X.Y.10.65/32; #}; }; As You can see, I tried some configuration, none worked. The main table looks like this: # ip route ls t 254 X.Y.10.61 dev venet0 scope link X.Y.10.60 dev venet0 scope link 192.168.1.51 dev venet0 scope link 192.168.1.140 dev venet0 scope link X.Y.10.64 dev venet0 scope link X.Y.10.65 dev venet0 scope link X.Y.11.0/29 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src X.Y.11.3 10.1.1.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 10.1.1.0 default via X.Y.11.1 dev eth0 onlink and in birdc: bird> show route 0.0.0.0/0 via X.Y.11.1 on eth0 [kernel1 22:10] * (10) 10.1.1.0/24 dev eth1 [MyOSPF 22:10] * I (150/10) [X.Y.11.3] X.Y.11.0/29 dev eth0 [MyOSPF 22:10] * I (150/10) [X.Y.11.3] # ip a l 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc sfq state UP qlen 1000 link/ether 00:21:85:3c:f5:76 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet X.Y.11.3/29 brd X.Y.11.7 scope global eth0 inet6 fe80::221:85ff:fe3c:f576/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 3: eth1: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN qlen 1000 link/ether 00:21:85:3c:f5:77 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 10.1.1.0/24 scope global eth1 5: venet0: <BROADCAST,POINTOPOINT,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN link/void inet6 fe80::1/128 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever -- greets from Poland, Łukasz Chrustek

BIRD does not implement peer groups. You could define parametric functions for import/export filters, but you have to use for example shell to generate config based on templates. -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'SanTiago' Zajicek (email: santiago(a)crfreenet.org) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."

Hello All, I want to implement a peer group in Bird. Some peers have the same configuration and template, they only differ on their IP address. The configuration and implementation would be highly appreciated Warm Regards Anibe O.

PI addresses and BIRD
by Виталий Сергеевич 13 Mar '11

13 Mar '11

Hello, tell me please, to which interface I need to bind PI address? lo? eth0? I have 91.XXX.XXX.0/23 network and local address 172.11.22.1 (eth0). Can I make an alias on eth0 (ip addr add 91.XXX.XXX.1/23 dev eth0)? Or the right thing to do somehow different?

Hello I found that there is already one running (empty) wiki as a part of Redmine project management webapp used for BIRD. I added some examples and FAQs for a start: https://git.nic.cz/redmine/projects/bird/wiki You could try to register and edit it. -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'SanTiago' Zajicek (email: santiago(a)crfreenet.org) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."

dynamic export filter based on interface/peering partner
by Arjan Filius 10 Mar '11

10 Mar '11

Hello bird users, i'd like to do some traffic engineering incoming traffic perferred in a central function/filter like the "filter bgp_out {} " i'm using On every peering partner i'd like to have that same export bgp_out filter, and basically i tried some things, but it didn't work out. What i tried is: filter bgp_out { <snip> if ( ( proto = "JointTransit_IPv4_177_NIKHEF" ) || ( proto = "JointTransit_IPv4_178_Telecity2" ) ) then { bgp_path.prepend(OURAS); } <snip> } extra prepend based on proto didn't work (for me). Selection on neighbor AS isn't the most suitable for me as at least one neighbor AS comes trough an "expensive" bgp proto and a "cheap" one. How does one do this, or how would i do this? Currently i needed to get the job done, and created multiple bgp_out_?? filters, and used them in the bgp proto definitions. Thanks in advance, Regards, -- Arjan Filius mailto:iafilius@xs4all.nl
