Hi all!
I'm trying to use Bird to announce route with predefined bgp next hop and to avoid filter manipulation on this route to set next-hop on it. My goal is to put route configuration into separate include file with fewer lines as possible.
Hi In BIRD 1.x, default BGP route attributes were preinitialized for non-BGP routes before BGP export filter was called, so the value set in static protocol is ignored. You have to set bgp_next_hop attribute in the BGP export filter. In BIRD 2.x, the behavior was simplified to work as one expects - bgp_next_hop can be set anywhere and then it is handled similarly to one received from BGP peer (so it would work with 'next hop keep'). -- 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."
