Hi!
I'm trying to get a grip on BIRD, and I'm slowly getting there.
One thing that puzzles me, though, is how to catch a BGP route entry that has no community list at all. What is the appropriate syntax? I'm runnig out of character combinations to try ... ;-)
There is probably no natural way to do this. Community lists currently support just variants of membership testing. But your last idea should work:
I suppose one could also turn it all around and try to say:
if bgp_community ~ [(*,*)] then reject; accept;
doesn't work either. You can't say set A is member of set B. I understand that.
Expression clist ~ pair_set should work like 'exists C from clist such that C ~ pair_set'. In your example the problem is that we currently support '*' in pair_set only in the second part of the pair, like (123,*), but you can write something like [(0,0)..(65535,65535)]. Therefore expression bgp_community ~ [(0,0)..(65535,65535)] should do what you want (if you have version 1.2.5, there is a bug in older ones in pair sets). -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'SanTiago' Zajicek (email: santiago@crfreenet.org) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
