manipulating the best path, eBGP, MED?
by Thomas＠PhaseHosting 14 Apr '18

14 Apr '18

Supp, I implemented bird in our Private cloud running proxmox to distribute our public address with eBGP to our serverhost. Through iBGP and a ucarp interface i have a HA gateway, the problem is that our host receives the routes but there are multiple entry points to our subnet ( the proxmox hosts). This makes that a diffrent in & out route doenst work. through following link: https://supportforums.cisco.com/document/126691/understanding-bgp-best-path… I learned that my hosts selects its route based on age ( the bird with the first connection is chosen). Can i send a multi-exit discriminator with my eBGP connection to my host? I googled but could find 2 answers that did't change anything: # your default gateway IP below here protocol bgp eBGP { import none; export where proto = "static_packet"; local as 65000; neighbor 10.80.x.x as 65530; password "SECRET"; #med metric 10; #default bgp_med 10; } (offcourse i tried both without # and waited till export) Or is there an other way to make sure that our host routes always to the first server and so on. -- Thomas Valgaeren thomas(a)phasehosting.io +32477915307

BGP Monitoring Protocol (BMP) support in Bird?
by Baptiste Jonglez 11 Jul '17

11 Jul '17

Hi, I am wondering if somebody is working on BGP Monitoring Protocol (BMP) support in Bird? Note that I'm just asking, I'm not requesting our beloved Bird developers to add this feature with a deadline set to yesterday :) I might try to implement it if nobody else already did. Basically, this is just a way to export BGP data over a TCP connection: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7854 This looks like a useful alternative to dumping to mrtdump files, there are already several free software clients: https://code.google.com/archive/p/bmpreceiver/ http://www.openbmp.org/#!index.md Baptiste

Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to speed up re-configuration process? Right now it takes up to 30+ minutes to run ./config after modifying bird_config_gen. I'm running BIRD 1.5.0 Best regards, Lyubo

Transiting
by Michael McConnell 26 Mar '17

26 Mar '17

Hello all, We are running into an issue transiting a down stream ASN. E.g. Uplink <-> Our ASN <-> Downlink ASN To me it seems we should only need to bgp_path.prepend our outbound filter, however our uplink is dropping the as path when we run it that way. Any suggestions as to what I am missing to carrier a downstream ASN and prefixes to our uplinks? Thanks so much, Mike -- Michael McConnell WINK Streaming; email: michael(a)winkstreaming.com <mailto:michael@winkstreaming.com> phone: +1 312 281-5433 x 7400 cell: +506 8706-2389 skype: wink-michael web: http://winkstreaming.com <http://winkstreaming.com/>

BGP Community Filter Static Route
by Michael McConnell 25 Mar '17

25 Mar '17

Trying to run a bgp filter like so; if (net = 10.10.10.10/24 || (641111, 666) ~ bgp_community ) then { route 10.10.10.10/24 reject; } Of course I run into a syntax error as I can’t inject the static route there. Any suggestions as to how I export a route based on a bgp community string? e.g. if community set export route. Thanks so much, Mike -- Michael McConnell WINK Streaming; email: michael(a)winkstreaming.com <mailto:michael@winkstreaming.com> phone: +1 312 281-5433 x 7400 cell: +506 8706-2389 skype: wink-michael web: http://winkstreaming.com <http://winkstreaming.com/>

Sending only default route to downstream users?
by Michael McConnell 24 Mar '17

24 Mar '17

Hello all, I receive a full iBGP table from my uplinks, however I want to just pass a default route / partial table to my downstream clients. I’ve tried various options such as gateway direct and multihop, try to turn it into a eBGP situation with no luck. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you very much for your time and help, Mike -- Michael McConnell WINK Streaming; email: michael(a)winkstreaming.com <mailto:michael@winkstreaming.com> phone: +1 312 281-5433 x 7400 cell: +506 8706-2389 skype: wink-michael web: http://winkstreaming.com <http://winkstreaming.com/>
