Tried the CLI(birdc) and I am a bit confused as to whait it can do. I only see this when I press ?: bird> ? configure [soft] ["<file>"] Reload configuration debug ... Control protocol debugging via BIRD logs disable <protocol> | "<pattern>" | all Disable protocol down Shut the daemon down dump ... Dump debugging information echo [all | off | <mask>] [<buffer-size>] Configure echoing of log messages enable <protocol> | "<pattern>" | all Enable protocol exit Exit the client help Description of the help system mrtdump ... Control protocol debugging via MRTdump files quit Quit the client reload <protocol> | "<pattern>" | all Reload protocol restart <protocol> | "<pattern>" | all Restart protocol restrict Restrict current CLI session to safe commands show ... Show status information Not a lot, seems that the CLI only can do very limited configuration or am I missing something here. Jocke
