Hi, I just started to play with bird. My anycast node setup is as follows. - each anycast server is serving form 1 up to 3 anycast prefixes - the anycast adresses are assigned to the dummyX interfaces as /32(IPv4) or /128(IPv6) - the BGP/quagga/ is advertising the /24 or /48 (added aggregate-address ......../24 (/48) summary-only - if I put the dummyX interface down, the BGP will stop announce the route associated to this interface, both IPv4 and IPv6 - if I put the dummyX interface up, the BGP will start announce the route The setup is a little more complex (metric, communities, preferencies, ..), but this is the main idea how it works. In another words I could stop/start announce the anycast prefix without reconfiguring the bgp daemon. Please, could someone point me how to do this in bird. There is direct protocol, but I see /32 routes, not /24 best regards Peter -- *Peter Hudec* Infraštruktúrny architekt phudec@cnc.sk <mailto:phduec@cnc.sk> *CNC, a.s.* Borská 6, 841 04 Bratislava Recepcia: +421 2 35 000 100 Mobil:+421 905 997 203 *www.cnc.sk* <http:///www.cnc.sk>
