Hello,
I'm attempting to use BIRD to redistribute routes from a couple of interesting BGP feed services (Cymru bogons and UTRS) to a bunch of our edge routers, but I'm hitting an issue where BIRD isn't exporting the routes to our edge, every prefix is getting a "rejected by protocol" message in the log.
bird6: edge1 < rejected by protocol 2407:dc20::/27 via [removed] on eth0
Any pointers would be appreciated. I just wish "rejected by protocol" would provide a bit more detail on why it was rejected.
Hello 'rejected by protocol' covers plenty of cases - not forwarding route back, not forwarding between IBGP sessions, avoiding RR loops and default community handling. Perhaps these routes have NO_EXPORT or NO_ADVERTISE community set? In that case see 'interpret communities' option. -- 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."
