Thanks for providing that. I was thinking about the same but couldn't find it in the manual. Additional question is do I see it correctly that bird in comparison to Cisco/Juniper does reverse logical so higher value means "more preferred" route?

Regards,

Grzegorz

Hello!

I could not find any information about default protocol preference values

(administrative distance) for bird. Can anybody please help with it? Are

there any default values for OSFP, BGP, static, etc.? Or is it better to

configure each value explicitly?

Hello

#define DEF_PREF_DIRECT 240 /* Directly connected */

#define DEF_PREF_STATIC 200 /* Static route */

#define DEF_PREF_OSPF 150 /* OSPF */

#define DEF_PREF_BABEL 130 /* Babel */

#define DEF_PREF_RIP 120 /* RIP */

#define DEF_PREF_BGP 100 /* BGP */

#define DEF_PREF_RPKI 100 /* RPKI */

#define DEF_PREF_INHERITED 10 /* Routes inherited from other routing daemons */
