upgrade 1.2.4 - 1.3.1 reverted
by Arjan Filius 24 Oct '12

24 Oct '12

Hello, upgraded from bird 1.2.4 to bird 1.3.1 last weekend, but needed to revert due to complaints from high bgp traffic to bgpmon.net and 100% cpu load on a 2x bird bgp routers setup connected with iBGP. Did some research, and noticed a high bgp traffic situation on the iBGP sessions (about 10.000 bgp packets in 1.7 second) Based on graph statistics, i noticed a irregular traffic on the trans-ip's as well (noticed after rollback in statistical graphs) In the logging (mostly on the first bgp router) , i noticed quite some messages (33414 in ~12h) like: 29-05-2011 10:57:49 <WARN> Next hop address X.X.X.242 resolvable through recursive route for X.X.X.0/24 29-05-2011 10:57:49 <WARN> Next hop address Y.Y.35.194 resolvable through recursive route for Y.Y.32.0/19 29-05-2011 10:57:52 <WARN> Next hop address X.X.X.241 resolvable through recursive route for X.X.X.0/24 29-05-2011 10:57:52 <WARN> Next hop address X.X.X.242 resolvable through recursive route for X.X.X.0/24 29-05-2011 10:57:55 <WARN> Next hop address Y.Y.35.194 resolvable through recursive route for Y.Y.32.0/19 29-05-2011 10:57:55 <WARN> Next hop address X.X.X.241 resolvable through recursive route for X.X.X.0/24 29-05-2011 10:57:55 <WARN> Next hop address X.X.X.242 resolvable through recursive route for X.X.X.0/24 These are the subnets of the upstream trans-ip links of it's neigbor router On the second (neighbor) bgp router, noticed only such 15 recursive messages I had those upstream trans-ip interface IP's manually added once to the bird.conf with a "protocol static" definition with a subnet of /32. I thought this might be the problem, and wel, disabled those static trans-ip interface routes, except i forgot one. Noticed a lower CPU afterwards, but problem persisted, and i reverted to 1.2.4. Later i noticed i missed one static route to disable, but no time left to upgrade and test again. I think i should have looked at the recursive routes in bird, but i didn't. Does one know what was going on here, and what to do to prevent it when executing another upgrade? I created a 10.000 packet tcpdump capture (full size) of an iBGP session, in case somone would like to look at it. Regards, Arjan Filius -- Arjan Filius mailto:iafilius@xs4all.nl

Problem importing routes from kernel
by Tom Beecher 19 Oct '12

19 Oct '12

Good day. I'm new to BIRD, and am having an issue that's hopefully a simple fix. I'm running bird 1.2.5-1 on Debian, installed via package. My end goal is to use the BIRD process as a RTBH trigger via BGP. Currently, I'm unable to get BIRD to import kernel routes into the BIRD process, aside from the system default route. Interaction with the kernel definitely works; when I peer up with my BGP neighbor, our edge router with public BGP routes, they import and show up in the kernel route table without a problem. Here's my route table, and relevant sections of the BIRD config, and outputs from birdc. Thanks in advance for any assistance. root@genericsystemsimage:~# route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 172.16.100.100 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0 207.251.204.0 * 255.255.255.240 U 0 0 0 eth0 default host-10.204-251 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 root@genericsystemsimage:~# 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 all; # Default is import all export all; # Default is export none } protocol device { scan time 10; # Scan interfaces every 10 seconds } protocol bgp test { description "Test peer"; local as XXXX; neighbor A.B.C.D as XXXX; import none; export all; } bird> show route 0.0.0.0/0 via 207.251.204.10 on eth0 [kernel1 16:57] * (10) bird> show protocols all name proto table state since info kernel1 Kernel master up 16:57 Preference: 10 Input filter: ACCEPT Output filter: ACCEPT Routes: 1 imported, 0 exported, 1 preferred Route change stats: received rejected filtered ignored accepted Import updates: 1 0 0 0 1 Import withdraws: 0 0 --- 0 0 Export updates: 1 1 0 --- 0 Export withdraws: 0 --- --- --- 0 -- Thomas Beecher II Senior Network Administrator LocalNet Corp.

OSPF virtual link segfault in 1.3.7 (wheezy)
by Kristian Lyngstol 15 Oct '12

15 Oct '12

Greetings. I just started playing with bird yesterday (my first endeavour into dynamic routing). I got OSPF set up nicely, but wanted to use multiple areas. I'm using OPSFv3(bird6/IPv6). There are essentially two issues I'm having: 1. "It doesn't work." This is probably just because I've not configured it correctly yet and is somewhat secondary. 2. Whenever I throw 'virtual link' in an area, bird segfaults on startup. I sort of assume my configuration has a logical flaw which is triggering it, but I've yet to see what. The bird6 config looks like this: ---- quote ---- log syslog all; router id 10.0.0.1; debug protocols all; 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 export all; # Default is export none # kernel table 5; # Kernel table to synchronize with (default: main) } protocol device { scan time 10; # Scan interfaces every 10 seconds } protocol static { } protocol ospf MyOSPF { area 0.0.0.0 { stub no; interface "eth2"; }; area 0.0.0.2 { stub yes; interface "eth1"; virtual link 10.30.0.1; }; } protocol radv { interface "eth1"; } ---- end quote ---- It's worth noting that the above config was just set up to trigger this. 10.30.0.1 is a not connected to the backbone, and that's where I originally ran into this when I tried to figure out how to get a router not directly connected to the backbone to play along with the rest... This is all within a VM. I've tried some other variations of the same setup and it still breaks the moment I mention 'virtual link'. Again, I assume this config is wrong, but it obviously shouldn't segfault anyway. Here's the relevant syslog entries with timestamps trimmed: ---- start quote ---- bird6: Started bird6: device1: State changed to up bird6: kernel1: Connected to table master bird6: kernel1: State changed to up bird6: static1 < interface lo goes up bird6: static1 < interface eth1 goes up bird6: static1 < interface eth0 goes up bird6: static1: State changed to up bird6: MyOSPF: Connected to table master bird6: MyOSPF < interface lo goes up bird6: MyOSPF < primary address ::1/128 on interface lo added bird6: MyOSPF < interface eth1 goes up bird6: MyOSPF < primary address 2a02:fe0:cf16:79::/64 on interface eth1 added bird6: MyOSPF < secondary address fe80::/64 on interface eth1 added bird6: MyOSPF: Adding interface eth1 (IID 0) to area 0.0.0.2 bird6: MyOSPF < interface eth0 goes up bird6: MyOSPF < primary address 2a02:fe0:cf16:78::/64 on interface eth0 added bird6: MyOSPF < secondary address fe80::/64 on interface eth0 added bird6: MyOSPF: State changed to up bird6: radv1 < interface lo goes up bird6: radv1 < primary address ::1/128 on interface lo added bird6: radv1 < interface eth1 goes up bird6: radv1: Adding interface eth1 bird6: radv1 < primary address 2a02:fe0:cf16:79::/64 on interface eth1 added bird6: radv1 < secondary address fe80::/64 on interface eth1 added bird6: radv1 < interface eth0 goes up bird6: radv1 < primary address 2a02:fe0:cf16:78::/64 on interface eth0 added bird6: radv1 < secondary address fe80::/64 on interface eth0 added bird6: radv1: State changed to up bird6: kernel1: Scanning routing table bird6: kernel1: Pruning table master bird6: kernel1: Pruning inherited routes bird6: radv1: Event Init on eth1 bird6: MyOSPF: Changing state of iface eth1 from down to waiting bird6: MyOSPF: Scheduling router-LSA origination for area 0.0.0.2 bird6: MyOSPF: HELLO packet sent via eth1 bird6: MyOSPF: Scheduling link-LSA origination for iface eth1 bird6: radv1: Timer fired on eth1 bird6: radv1: Sending RA via eth1 bird6: MyOSPF: Originating router-LSA for area 0.0.0.2 bird6: MyOSPF: Scheduling routing table calculation bird6: MyOSPF: Originating router prefix-LSA for area 0.0.0.2 bird6: MyOSPF: Originating link-LSA for iface eth1 kernel: [127469.292849] bird6[5956]: segfault at 28 ip 00007f85aab58a9b sp 00007fffece33910 error 4 in bird6[7f85aab2b000+65000] ---- quote end ---- This is all running on a Debian Wheezy VM (on a debian wheezy host, if it matters).

Feature request: sort addresses/networks
by Ruben Laban 11 Oct '12

11 Oct '12

Hello bird-maintainers, I'd like to propose a cosmetic feature request: The sorting of addresses/networks listed in "show ospf state" (and possibly similar commands as well). Currently networks are listed semi-random it seems, like so: router 10.0.0.1 distance 0 router 10.0.0.2 stubnet 192.168.1.0/24 stubnet 192.168.5.0/24 stubnet 192.168.3.0/24 I'd like it to display the following instead: router 10.0.0.1 distance 0 router 10.0.0.2 stubnet 192.168.1.0/24 stubnet 192.168.3.0/24 stubnet 192.168.5.0/24 This eases the finding of a given network in sometimes rather largish lists. Regards, Ruben Laban

OSPF: External routes (ABR vs ASBR)
by Ruben Laban 11 Oct '12

11 Oct '12

Hi list, I'm trying to figure out how bird distinguishes between imported routes that are shown as "external" route directly under the router's id (in "show ospf state") and those listed under the "other ASBRs" header. I have different boxes showing different behavior. I just can't seem to pinpoint the reason for a route show up under the "other ASBRs" header. Regards, Ruben Laban

Hi, I'm new with Bird. Currently we have deployed it on one router for OSPF. Everything works fine, until one interface on other router in OSPF network went down.

Is it possible in bird periodically dump full BGP table content in MRT format? In quagga this can be done with setting like: dump bgp routes-mrt /var/run/bgpdata/%Y-%m/rib.%F.%H%M 6h -- Anton Yuzhaninov

on-interface routes
by Eugene M. Zheganin 17 Sep '12

17 Sep '12

Hi. Why bird touches on-interface routes ? Right now I have to create import filters and prohibit importing of on-interface routes, because in case of losing a link bird thinks that this route was added by it and deletes it, making the network unuseable. Is there a way to tell it 'don't touch on-interface routes' ? Thanks. Eugene.

bird 1.3.8 vs 1.3.6
by fredrik danerklint 10 Sep '12

10 Sep '12

Hi! Is there something with these versions that is not compatibly with each other for the ospf to work in ipv6? Right now I have a bird 1.3.8 instance neither announce nor getting an routes in a area. It is stuck in the exchange state. The ip4 versions also get stuck in the loading state for a while and then continue. (during the loading state the routes are announced to the others - so it's working somewhat). -- //fredan

Ok, i have DNS running on one peer (route client) and listening on a virtual sub-interface (I intend to add more and do anycasting). the other peer will be a route server. It is the route to the virtual IP on the route client that I want to propagate to the route server. bird> sh protocols all name proto table state since info kernel1 Kernel master up 14:03 Preference: 10 Input filter: ACCEPT Output filter: ACCEPT Routes: 0 imported, 0 exported, 0 preferred Route change stats: received rejected filtered ignored accepted Import updates: 0 0 0 0 0 Import withdraws: 0 0 --- 0 0 Export updates: 0 0 0 --- 0 Export withdraws: 0 --- --- --- 0 device1 Device master up 14:03 Preference: 240 Input filter: ACCEPT Output filter: REJECT Routes: 0 imported, 0 exported, 0 preferred Route change stats: received rejected filtered ignored accepted Import updates: 0 0 0 0 0 Import withdraws: 0 0 --- 0 0 Export updates: 0 0 0 --- 0 Export withdraws: 0 --- --- --- 0 RC1p BGP master up 14:04 Established Description: Route Client1 Peer Preference: 100 Input filter: ACCEPT Output filter: ACCEPT Routes: 0 imported, 0 exported, 0 preferred Route change stats: received rejected filtered ignored accepted Import updates: 0 0 0 0 0 Import withdraws: 0 0 --- 0 0 Export updates: 0 0 0 --- 0 Export withdraws: 0 --- --- --- 0 BGP state: Established Neighbor address: 192.168.128.32 Neighbor AS: 64496 Neighbor ID: 192.168.128.32 Neighbor caps: refresh AS4 Session: external route-server AS4 Source address: 192.168.128.31 Hold timer: 179/240 Keepalive timer: 37/80 #Route client bird.conf router id 192.168.128.21; #protocol direct { # interface "-eth*", "*"; # 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 export all; # Default is export none # kernel table 5; # Kernel table to synchronize with (default: main) } protocol device { scan time 10; # Scan interfaces every 10 seconds } protocol bgp RouteSrv { # disabled; description "Route Server Peer"; local as 64496; neighbor 192.168.128.20 as 65000; import all; export all; # multihop; } #Route Server bird.conf router id 192.168.128.20; # Martian networks function net_martian() { return net ~ [ 169.254.0.0/16+, 172.16.0.0/12+, 192.168.0.0/16+, 10.0.0.0/8+, 127.0.0.0/8+, 224.0.0.0/4+, 240.0.0.0/4+, 0.0.0.0/32-, 0.0.0.0/0{25,32}, 0.0.0.0/0{0,7} ]; } #Local networks function net_local() { return net ~ [ 192.168.128.0/24+, 192.168.122.0/24+ ]; } function rt_import(int asn; int set peer_asns; prefix set peer_nets) { if !
