Hi I'm having troubles in BIRD configuration, and I'm pretty sure it's just a trivial wrong configure issue but I really tried my best >_< Let me give you some background. 1. There are 2 hosts connected by wire (so that they are L2 reachable), one with IPv4 10.22.12.88, and another is 10.22.12.44. Here's one the arp record from "ip neigh sh":
10.22.12.88 dev bond0 lladdr f8:6e:ee:8b:cf:90 REACHABLE
2. Both 2 hosts have some KVM virtual machines, with corresponding routes from host to vm, here's one of the routes from "ip r":
10.233.25.178 dev yap35caa1e88854 scope link src 10.22.12.44
The 10.233.25.178 is the address of a VM, and the dev yap35caa1e88854 is a tap device connecting eth0 inside the VM. What I want to do is to build routes between these 2 hosts, in order to let VMs on host A be able to connect VMs on host B. Hope I make myself clear. So I'm using BIRD 2.0.3 on Ubuntu 16.04, with the config file as follows: log syslog all;
router id 10.22.12.44;
protocol device { debug { states }; scan time 2;}
protocol kernel { learn; persist; scan time 10; ipv4 { import all; export all; };}
protocol bgp { debug { states }; local as 65000; neighbor 10.22.12.88 as 65000; source address 10.22.12.44; multihop; ipv4 { export filter { if ( net ~ 10.233.0.0/16 ) then { accept; } reject; }; import all; next hop self on; gateway recursive; add paths on; };}
But this doesn't work well, the peer BIRD show the info as follows: bird> show route protocol bgp1
Table master4:10.233.25.178/32 unicast [bgp1 18:47:32.910 from 10.22.12.44] * (100/?) [i] via 10.22.12.1 on enp2s0f0 onlink bird> show route export kernel1 Table master4:10.233.25.178/32 unicast [bgp1 18:47:32.910 from 10.22.12.44] * (100/?) [i] via 10.22.12.1 on enp2s0f0 onlink
The problem happened on the gateway, I was hoping the routes should have "via 10.22.12.44" instead of "via 10.22.12.1"; 10.22.12.1 came from the host default gateway:
default via 10.22.12.1 dev bond0 onlink
But I have no idea how to prevent BIRD from using it. The other information may be helpful is included below: bird> show protocols all bgp1

Please enlighten me with some advice, and I'll appreciate that very much. Thank you!
