I'm using bird 1.0.4 on an Intel Linux box (homemade distro). I've configured bird to do RIP broadcast. I then plugged the system into my local network and into a separate network and did the same with my desktop system. I configured bird to dump lots of debug info to the syslog, and I see it say that it broadcasts its routing table to both eth0 and eth1, but watching either network shows me absolutely no traffic from either interface. I pinged back and forth to be sure, and I can see the pings and the associated ARP traffic quite clearly, but no RIP broadcasts at all.
How are you watching?? Can you see UDP traffic? If not, use Ethereal.
I am using tethereal, the command line version of the same. It can see UDP, pretty sure. -- James A. Crippen <james@unlambda.com> ,-./-. Lambda Unlimited Anchorage, Alaska | |/ | 61.2069 N Y=\f.(\x.f(xx))(\x.f(xx)) | |\ | 149.766 W YF=F(YF) \_,-_/
