Dear Elmar,

import or export table is a command to note, that the routes will be locally stored in a table for import or export. So you do not need to write it down, it's just a switch.

Check the documentation for BGP https://bird.nic.cz/doc/bird-2.16.2.html#bgp and tag "import table switch".

I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Jana

    <peer>: Automatic RPKI reload not active for import

I believe this message relates to "rpki reload _switch_" documented
here: https://bird.network.cz/?get_doc&v=20&f=bird-3.html#proto-rpki-reload

Thanks for the pointer! I see that this defaults to "On", so the message should
not appear; but then the docs mention that it also "requires import table or
export table". That formulation is unclear to me; does this mean I have to
implement a separate table for every peer (which I, of course, don't)?
nobody has that kind of time)?

I'm taking all prefixes into the master4/master6 tables, and atm I'm just
tagging, not filtering upon import.

Am I thinking wrong?

Elmar.
