Bird 1.5.0 with BFD on Linux 2.6.32 crashes
by Thomas King 26 May '15

26 May '15

Hi all, I am using Linux 2.6.32 kernel and Bird 1.5.0. I configured a BFD session in order to cover my BGP session as this: protocol bfd mybfd { neighbor fec0::a:cf:0:2 dev "tking"; } If I start bird with this config it crashes with the following error message: 2015-05-26 19:15:50 <ERR> mybfd: Socket error: SO_PRIORITY: Operation not permitted After applying a hotfix to the SO_PRIORITY handling BFD works. tking@h2216609:~/bird/bird-1.5.0/sysdep/unix# diff io.c_old io.c 1220c1220 < return -1; --- > return 0; Best regards, Thomas and Eric

Routes disappear after reloading BIRD configuration
by Robert Brockbank 22 May '15

22 May '15

Hi, I've got two hosts each running BIRD within a docker container. If I restart BIRD on one of the hosts, I drop routes. I have the kernel option "persist" set, running bird with the -R option and set kernel and bgp to have graceful restart. Restarting the service, sending in a SIGHUP or entering "configure" on birdc all cause routes to be dropped temporarily. Any thoughts on what might be causing this? Is this just a configuration issue? I've outlined my set up below, including config files etc. One other question, are there any plans to allow dynamic reconfiguration (e.g. adding and removing a peer) without restarting the protocols? Any help or advice you could give would be most welcome. Thanks, Rob Brockbank Set up is as follows: HOST A: ======= **** IP: 172.17.8.101 **** **** Output from routing table **** root@core-01:/# ip route default via 10.0.2.2 dev eth0 proto dhcp src 10.0.2.15 metric 1024 10.0.2.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.2.15 10.0.2.2 dev eth0 proto dhcp scope link src 10.0.2.15 metric 1024 10.1.0.0/16 dev docker0 proto kernel scope link src 10.1.42.1 172.17.8.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 172.17.8.101 192.168.1.1 dev cali1fb91036fff scope link 192.168.1.2 dev cali1ff66dc8fff scope link 192.168.1.3 dev cali2078697cfff scope link 192.168.1.4 via 172.17.8.102 dev eth1 proto bird 192.168.1.5 via 172.17.8.102 dev eth1 proto bird **** Bird command line **** bird -R -s bird.ctl -d -c /config/bird.cfg **** Bird config **** router id 172.17.8.101; log "/var/log/calico/bird.log" all; filter calico_pools { if ( net ~ 192.168.0.0/16 ) then { accept; } else { reject; } } protocol kernel { learn; # Learn all alien routes from the kernel persist; # Don't remove routes on bird shutdown scan time 2; # Scan kernel routing table every 2 seconds import all; device routes; export all; # Default is export none graceful restart; } protocol device { scan time 2; # Scan interfaces every 2 seconds } protocol direct { debug all; interface -"cali*", "*"; # Exclude cali* but include everything else. } # Template for all BGP clients template bgp bgp_template { debug all; description "Connection to BGP peer"; local as 64511; multihop; gateway recursive; import all; export filter calico_pools; next hop self; source address 172.17.8.101; add paths on; graceful restart; } protocol bgp from bgp_template { neighbor 172.17.8.102 as 64511; } HOST B (pretty much identical to HOST A with IPs swapped): ======= **** IP: 172.17.8.102 **** **** Output from routing table **** root@core-02:/# ip route default via 10.0.2.2 dev eth0 proto dhcp src 10.0.2.15 metric 1024 10.0.2.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.2.15 10.0.2.2 dev eth0 proto dhcp scope link src 10.0.2.15 metric 1024 10.1.0.0/16 dev docker0 proto kernel scope link src 10.1.42.1 172.17.8.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 172.17.8.102 192.168.1.1 via 172.17.8.101 dev eth1 proto bird 192.168.1.2 via 172.17.8.101 dev eth1 proto bird 192.168.1.3 via 172.17.8.101 dev eth1 proto bird 192.168.1.4 dev cali32d26ef6fff scope link 192.168.1.5 dev cali333fbba0fff scope link **** Bird command line **** bird -R -s bird.ctl -d -c /config/bird.cfg **** Bird config **** router id 172.17.8.102; log "/var/log/calico/bird.log" all; filter calico_pools { if ( net ~ 192.168.0.0/16 ) then { accept; } else { reject; } } protocol kernel { debug all; learn; # Learn all alien routes from the kernel persist; # Don't remove routes on bird shutdown scan time 2; # Scan kernel routing table every 2 seconds import all; device routes; export all; # Default is export none graceful restart; } protocol device { scan time 2; # Scan interfaces every 2 seconds } protocol direct { debug all; interface -"cali*", "*"; # Exclude cali* but include everything else. } template bgp bgp_template { debug all; description "Connection to BGP peer"; local as 64511; multihop; gateway recursive; import all; export filter calico_pools; next hop self; source address 172.17.8.102; # The local address we use for the TCP connection add paths on; graceful restart; } protocol bgp from bgp_template { neighbor 172.17.8.101 as 64511; } LOG FILE ======== If I send in a SIGHUP to bird on HOST B, I lose the routes to the 192.168.1.4 and .5 on HOST A, and the routes to 192.168.1.1, .2 and .3 on HOST B.

OSPF: how distance parameter is calculated ?

Hi, I have two ospf routers in the same vlan and subnet but with different metrics (20 vs 50). I'd like to prefer router with metric=20 but distance parameter is more prefered. How can i change distance parameter or just ? thanks for help bird> show ospf state area 0.0.0.133 router 10.10.10.252 distance 10 network 8.8.2.0/28 metric 1 network 20.20.20.240/28 metric 1 nssa-ext 0.0.0.0/0 metric 50 router 10.10.10.254 distance 11 network 20.20.20.240/28 metric 1 stubnet 8.8.2.0/28 metric 1 nssa-ext 0.0.0.0/0 metric 20 server config: protocol ospf MyOSPF { tick 2; rfc1583compat yes; area 0.0.0.133 { nssa; interface "bond0" { hello 10; priority 0; type nbma; neighbors { 10.10.10.252 eligible; 10.10.10.254 eligible; }; }

OSPF route selection

Hello, we're using OSPF for anycast routing and came across a small problem. We've a BIRD v1.4.4 router which sits in area 0 and 16. Here's the relevant state information (10.236.144.144/32 is announced from two different routers in two areas): area 0.0.0.0 router 10.236.144.241 distance 33 external 10.236.144.144/32 metric 1 area 0.0.0.16 router 10.17.224.253 distance 111 external 10.236.144.144/32 metric 1 The route via area 16 is considered best: 10.236.144.144/32 via 10.176.3.29 on vlan542 [o_internal 2014-10-07 16:49:56] * E1 (150/112) [10.17.224.253] Given that both E1 routes are reachable via intra-area paths. We're wondering why the path via area 16 (higher costs than area 0) is chosen. Is this the intended behavior? Is there any way to make bird prefer routes via a specific/backbone area in a situation like this? Best Regards, Freddy

Dear bird users, Do you know if, in bird version 1.4.5, there is a way to view the prefixes being advertised to a specific BGP peer? Apologies of this is covered in the manual, but I can't seem to find it. Regards, Anand

BIRD ripng default gateway route strange behavior
by olivier a 11 May '15

11 May '15

Hello all ^^ I'm puzzled with a really weird RIPng default gateway propagation problem. I don't quite understand what's happening. Here is what happens ... Network topology : PC1---Router1---Router2----InternetGateway---z RIPng enabled on PC1, Router1, Router2 Router2 has a static IPv6 DG ( Default Gateway ) to InternetGateway Router1 has no static IPv6 DG, and no kernel{learn} directive. Router2=Ubuntu14.04 LTS, Router1=raspbian Wheezy, bird = last version, compiled from sources link-local addresses replaces with symbolic names ( ie [fe80::Router1] ) Something really strange seems to happen : . Router2 gets this routing table : default via InternetGateway dev eth0 proto static metric 1 default via [fe80::Router1] dev eth1 proto bird metric 1024 But Router1 isn't announcing any IPv6 DefaultGateway, just ::/0 metric 16 ( ie it is poisoning the route ). ( I checked using Wireshark ). Is there a bug that transforms a received "::/0 metric 16" into a "default via [fe80::Router1] dev eth1 proto bird metric 1024" route ? Here is Router2 bird6.conf file : ------------------------------------------------- log syslog all; debug protocols all; #log stderr all; #log "tmp" all; router id 192.168.4.1; protocol kernel { learn; scan time 20; export all; import all; } protocol direct { #interface "eth0"; } protocol device { scan time 10; } protocol rip { debug all; port 521; interface "*" { mode multicast; ttl security on; }; honor neighbor; authentication none; import all; export all; } ------------------------------------------------------------- I managed to solve the problem, by having Router2 drop incomming ::/0 announcements : --------------------------------------------------------- import filter { # This block filters ::/0 in if net ~ [ ::/0+ ] then reject "ripng:rejected:DG"; else accept "ripng:accepted:not-DG"; }; export all; --------------------------------------------------------- the problem is solved, yet it puzzles me. This is really strange. Does anybody understand what is happening ??

key/value structure
by Pavlos Parissis 09 May '15

Hi, For each ip_prefix I advertize I need to add a BGP community in the form of (ASN,<RouterID>). I have the following mapping between IPs and RouterIDs ip_prefix, RouterID 10.10.10.1, 1 10.10.10.2, 2 10.10.10.3, 3 10.10.10.4, 1 10.10.10.5, 2 10.10.10.6, 3 ..... So, inside a function I need to express the following lookup_community_router_id() { return some_kind_of_dict_structure(net.ip) } and the use it in a filter/function filter { bgp.community((1111, lookup_community_router_id(net))); accept; } Is this possible? Thanks, Pavlos

no rc files with bird on ubuntu ?
by Kai 03 May '15

03 May '15

Hello everybody! We are running bird and bird6 on an ubuntu server. I just noticed that /etc/init.d/bird and .../bird6 are not linked to any of the /etc/rc?.d directories on our three systems. Furthermore update-rc.d wouldn't create the links but just fail silently (that is with a succinct "System start/stop links for /etc/init.d/bird do not exist."). I'm stuck right now. Does anyone else observe the same behaviour? Am I mistaken in thinking there should be rd.c-files? Best regards, Kai -- "Das ist Demokratie, wenn man sich aussuchen darf, wer einen verarscht."
