OSPF passive-interface
by Alexander Velkov 28 Jun '16

28 Jun '16

Hi again, in the quagga configuration you can configure a interface to be passive (participate in the OSPF routing process but prevents that interface from forming neighbor relationships). I cannot find a configuration parameter for that in the bird OSPF configuration. There is one for RIP and BGP but not for OSPF. How is this logic solved in bird ? Regards, Alex

bird does not speak OSPF on a GRE tunnel interface
by Alexander Velkov 28 Jun '16

28 Jun '16

Hello, Could you please help with an OSPF configuration. I have configured a GRE tunnel between two peers - '172.16.0.9' and '172.16.0.4'. I configured then a local address on the newly created tunnel interface '172.16.1.1'. I would like to configure bird to speak on the GRE interface. I tried with the following configuration but I cannot see that bird is announcing anything: *# ifconfig* eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:D0:12:05:C6:D6 inet addr:172.16.0.4 Bcast:172.16.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:12613 errors:0 dropped:1 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:9503 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:1237627 (1.1 MiB) TX bytes:2152677 (2.0 MiB) eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:D0:12:06:C7:D7 inet addr:10.0.4.1 Bcast:10.0.4.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:294 errors:0 dropped:1 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:421 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:53820 (52.5 KiB) TX bytes:97344 (95.0 KiB) *gretesttunnel* Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr AC-10-00-04-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 inet addr:172.16.1.2 P-t-P:172.16.1.1 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:320 (320.0 B) lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:65536 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) *bird config:* 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 learn; device routes; } protocol device { scan time 10; # Scan interfaces every 10 seconds } #protocol direct { # interface "*"; # export all; #} protocol ospf OSPF { rfc1583compat; export all; import all; area 172.16.0.0 { networks { *172.16.1.0/24 <http://172.16.1.0/24>;* }; } Thanks in advance!

Dynamic BGP neighbors ?
by Jonan S 28 Jun '16

28 Jun '16

Hello, Does BIRD support anything like dynamic BGP neighbors ? I would like to establish sessions from neighbors that are unknown ahead of time, such as from a range of IPs or adhoc addresses. Thanks, -Jonan

Re: bird does not speak OSPF on a GRE tunnel interface
by Alexander Velkov 27 Jun '16

Hi Michael, thank you for your answer! When I explicitly define the tunnel interface as an OSPF interface, then I see that bird 'talks' on it. That is very nice, thanks!

mpls-new and generate encap mpls route?
by Tim Weippert 22 Jun '16

22 Jun '16

HI, currently i playing with mpls on linux and bird mpls-new branch, as i created an test l3vpn i haven't found a way to configure bird for creating encap mpls routes from bird. MPLS Routes are generated and successfully installed within the kernel. Is this not implemented, or did i miss something. I read some of the commits and thought that the kernel/netlink part can handle this. Additional i don't find a way to define the used labels, it seems that bird is generating new labels by default with start at 32. Can this be influenced? thanks, tim -- Tim Weippert http://weiti.org - weiti(a)weiti.org GPG Fingerprint - E704 7303 6FF0 8393 ADB1 398E 67F2 94AE 5995 7DD8

community drop by mask
by Василий Олейников 20 Jun '16

20 Jun '16

Hi, all Is there an opportunity to drop community in filter by mask? Something like bgp_community.delete((2400, *)); or bgp_community.delete((2400, [1000-2000])); If not, is there some plans to create some functional like this? WBR, duckhawk

New "channels" feature in future version of Bird?
by Baptiste Jonglez 20 Jun '16

20 Jun '16

Hi, I am very curious about the new "channels" feature from the int-new branch. I understand it is supposed to replace import and export filters by connecting protocols to routing tables. What is the motivation for this change, and how does it work from a high-level perspective? Will it be part of Bird 2? Thanks, Baptiste

Static routes on (active) interfaces without IP address set
by Alexander Demenshin 19 Jun '16

19 Jun '16

Hi, Is there any specific reason why bird (1.6.0 @linux in particular) does not process static routes like: route 10.101.0.0/24 via "eth1"; when eth1 has no assigned IP address (but is up & active)? This route is completely legal but it is invisible anywhere, simply ignored (even does not appear in debug messages). Once eth1 gets IP address, the route is added, but not otherwise... -- With best regards, Alexander.
