Re: running two bird daemons which listen on loopback IP

Hi, Trying to connect to the same machine is not supported. If you need to run two BIRDs on one machine, use network namespaces or another kind of virtualization. Maria On June 19, 2018 5:34:06 PM GMT+02:00, Pavlos Parissis <pavlos.parissis@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi,

For testing purposes I want to run two bird instances which listen on two different IPs. Those IP addresses are assigned to loopback interface(Linux box). I have configured BGP but each daemon is waiting the other to become neighbor.

I run tcpdump on loopback interface and I don't see any network traffic, and I am wondering if using loopback inteface isn't supported.

Cheers, Pavlos
