Hi, do I see it correctly that the destination port to establish the BGP session cannot be changed? I would really like to have something like neighbor 1.2.3.4 port 5001 as 64512; Any reason not to support this? Thanks matthias -- Matthias Waehlisch .

No other BGP implementation that I know of supports it. Do you have a specific reason for wanting to change the BGP port? GTG On Tue, Sep 30, 2014 at 5:06 PM, Matthias Waehlisch <m.waehlisch@fu-berlin.de> wrote:

the typical rational involves two bgp processes on the same host... listening on a non-default typically means only one side can initiate a connection.

It is oversight. It will be in the next version, based on the patch from João Taveira Araújo: https://www.mail-archive.com/bird-users@atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/msg03485.ht... -- 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."
