Hello Bird-users,
Currently making some monitor scripts, and working on that i noticed a little difference with 2 (ipv4 and ipv6) export-only bgp protocols.
...
Both the protocol definitions are exactly the same, apart from the neighbor definition.
The only difference is the ipv4 neigbor is in a direct connected subnet, where the ipv6 isn't.
After "fixing" the ipv6 passive neigbor to a direct connected ip i got the "Passive" in the info field.
I'm not sure what is the correct behaviour, but displaying passive when actually passive eases my monitoring scripts.
I think that if you don't have multihop option and your neighbor address is not from a direct connected subnet, that such configuration is unusable and that is a reason why there is Idle state and not Passive state. -- 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."
