Hi ,
I am new and exploring bird routing daemon.
I am using bird 1.6.4 and updated to bird 2.0 as well.
I have successfully installed bird on ubuntu 18.04 and configured the bird.conf # Generate direct routes for interfaces. Useful on BSD. protocol direct { ipv4; disabled; }
protocol rip { ipv4{ interface "ensp011"; interface "ens025:; } }
This has made my PC a switch with 2 interfaces , where i have connected to cisco switch with two ports in RIP configuration. The network in updating in my PC where bird is installed but rip is not getting updated on cisco because bird is not sending response packets
If I enbale OSPF on the interface is it is fine, i.e RIP protocol works only if OSPF is enabled on the same interface as RIP interface
Hi Not sure what is the issue, but note that you have disabled 'Direct' protocol. RIP protocol implementation does not generate interface routes directly (in contrast to OSPF protocol), therefore it is necessary to have direct routes generated by Direct protocol. That would explain why enabling OSPF fixes that - OSPF as a side effect also generates direct routes. -- 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."
