Hi! I'm new to the list and new to bird, but know a little bit about bgp and what i want: I want to use bird as a route-server in an ixp environment. If I configure a peer as rc client, i get a syntax-error at "rs client;". The config command should exist according to the documentation... I append the peer-config. Has anyone a hint? I use Version 1.0.11-4. thanks for your answers, Harald protocol bgp AS64002 { local as 64000; neighbor 10.203.0.2 as 64002; rs client; hold time 240; startup hold time 240; connect retry time 120; keepalive time 80; # defaults to hold time / 3 start delay time 5; # How long do we wait before initial connect error wait time 60, 300;# Minimum and maximum time we wait after an error (when consecutive # errors occur, we increase the delay exponentially ... error forget time 300; # ... until this timeout expires) next hop self; # Disable next hop processing and always advertise our local address as nexthop path metric 1; # Prefer routes with shorter paths (like Cisco does) default bgp_med 0; # MED value we use for comparison when none is defined default bgp_local_pref 100; # The same for local preference source address 10.203.0.254; # What local address we use for the TCP connection export all; } -- Harald Michl <harald.michl@univie.ac.at> Vienna University - ACOnet www.ACO.net - VIX www.VIX.at Universitaetsstrasse 7, A-1010 Vienna, Austria, Europe Tel: +43 1 4277 - 14078 (Fax: - 9140) HM3550-RIPE
