I'm using bird 1.6.8. I changed my bird config by adding bgp protocol to it. Then run command "birdc config" to apply the config. After that, the BGP session is not up: root@CL1:~# tcondr configureReading configuration from /home/talariuser/bird/etc/bird.conf Reconfiguredroot@CL1:~# tcondr BIRD 1.6.8 ready.

I can't find any detail information about birdc on the web site. Is this command not valid any more in 1.6.8 or is there a bug in that? Wei
