Hello Bird-users, Currently making some monitor scripts, and working on that i noticed a little difference with 2 (ipv4 and ipv6) export-only bgp protocols. ipv4: bird> show protocols name proto table state since info <snip> bgp_Arjan_Filius BGP master start Jun25 Passive ipv6: bird> show protocols name proto table state since info <snip> bgp_Arjan_Filius BGP master start Jun25 Idle Notice the difference in the info field on both the ipv6 and ipv4 definition i'd used the "passive on;" statement Both the protocol definitions are exactly the same, apart from the neighbor definition. The only difference is the ipv4 neigbor is in a direct connected subnet, where the ipv6 isn't. After "fixing" the ipv6 passive neigbor to a direct connected ip i got the "Passive" in the info field. I'm not sure what is the correct behaviour, but displaying passive when actually passive eases my monitoring scripts. Regards -- Arjan Filius mailto:iafilius@xs4all.nl
