Hi, very new to BIRD, we use Quagga but I’m looking at implementing both.

 

I have a Cisco 7200 peering with BIRD, as soon as I enable the peering the 7200 gets the full internet routing table but then hits 100% CPU until I  disable the peering. I have peered the 7200 with Quagga and sent the full table and it has no problems at all, sits at around 40% CPU with the same full table.

 

 

Here is the relevant config which is very basic, I’ve changed most of the settings without any change in the behaviour L

 

 

 

protocol kernel {

#       learn;                  # Learn all alien routes from the kernel

#       persist;                # Don't remove routes on bird shutdown

#       scan time 20;           # Scan kernel routing table every 20 seconds

#       import all;             # Default is import all

#       export all;             # Default is export none

#       kernel table 5;         # Kernel table to synchronize with (default: main)

}

 

# This pseudo-protocol watches all interface up/down events.

protocol device {

        scan time 1000;         # Scan interfaces every 10 seconds

 

 

 

                               

                               

protocol bgp RR_Test {

       description "RR_Test";

       local as yyyy;

       neighbor x.x.x.x as yyyy;

       rr client;

#       export filter bgp_out;

       rr cluster id 0.0.0.10;

       export all;

       multihop;

#       import filter bgp_in;

       next hop self;

       source address x.x.x.x;
