Hello, I`m having some problems in making bird filters. I have 2 different channels to 2 different providers. Both of then distribute RIP. So I made the followng filter: ______________________________________________________ filter prov1_preferred { if net ~ 212.192.121.0/24 then { if from = 213.183.100.161 then { rip_metric = 10; accept; } else if from = 217.29.80.1 then accept; } else if net ~ 212.192.122.0/24 then { if from = 213.183.100.161 then { rip_metric = 10; accept; } else if from = 217.29.80.1 then accept; } else if net ~ 212.192.123.0/24 then { if from = 213.183.100.161 then { rip_metric = 10; accept; } else if from = 217.29.80.1 then accept; } else if net ~ 217.29.80.0/20 then { if from = 213.183.100.161 then { rip_metric = 10; accept; } else if from = 217.29.80.1 then accept; } else accept; } ______________________________________________________ 217.29.80.1 - first provider GW 213.183.100.161 - second provider GW eth0 - my eth to 1st provider eth2 - my eth to 2nd provider so I import this filter in protocol rip configuration: protocol rip eXoft_RIP { debug all; port 520; period 20; garbage time 200; interface "eth0" { metric 1; mode quiet; }; interface "eth1" { metric 2; mode broadcast; }; interface "eth2" { metric 1; mode quiet; }; honor neighbor; authentication none; import filter drop_default; import filter prov1_preferred; export filter { print "exporting"; accept; }; } and i make the following commands: service bird restart ip route flush proto bird #waiting for some time for RIP`s from providers ip r l |grep 212.192.12 #after that i see following: 212.192.125.0/25 via 213.183.100.161 dev eth2 proto bird 212.192.126.0/24 via 213.183.100.161 dev eth2 proto bird 212.192.123.0/24 via 213.183.100.161 dev eth2 proto bird 212.192.122.0/24 via 213.183.100.161 dev eth2 proto bird 212.192.121.0/24 via 213.183.100.161 dev eth2 proto bird 212.192.120.0/24 via 213.183.100.161 dev eth2 proto bird but i must be routed via eth0!!! where is the problem, help me please Loschyov Oleg icq:104545374
