Is it possible to run BIRD in a speaker-only only mode, such that it does not bind to a local TCP socket, for the BGP protocol? While i can bind BIRD to different TCP ports at start-up, many vendors do not support specifying a destination port other than tcp/179.
There is no option for this, but you could either bind BIRD instances to a different port or to a different IP (listen option). If you bind BIRD to a different port, you don't need to configure neighbors - outgoing connections will be still to tcp/179. -- 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."
