Hi I am in the process of testing BIRD and am having a problem with starting BIRD with a simple BGP peering configuration I get this error when I load the configuration, $bird# /sbin/bird -c bird.conf bird: bird.conf, line 21: syntax error This is my configuration, --------------------------------------- $bird # more bird.conf router id 192.168.253.5; protocol kernel { persist; # Don't remove routes on BIRD shutdown scan time 20; # Scan kernel routing table every 20 seconds export all; # Default is export none } protocol device { scan time 20; # Scan interfaces every 10 seconds } protocol direct { interface "*"; } protocol bgp { local as 8714; neighbor 10.0.0.1 as 1234; source address 10.0.0.254; import all; } --------------------------------------- The errors says there is a a systax error where I I specify the neighbor that my server peers with. I can not see anything wrong here. Am I missing something ? Mo
