I admit I am rookie to IP routing. Looking for a little bet of simple help configuring BIRD for simple routing.
I am trying to learn how to set-up a router and maintain a configuration and I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm that sort of person who learns by example. The configuration is a bit nn standard and will be only used on a local area network. Essentially, how would I configure BIRD to route everything except DHCP traffic between networks 192.168.0.0/16, 192.168.30.0/16, 192.168.31.0/16 and packets for any other network get sent to 192.168.0.1? So, as an example, a device on 192.168.31.4 can talk to 192.168.0.33? All using a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. I will try and read through the user guide, but at this moment I'm not sure what I need to do to get it to work.
Hello! If you have one router connecting these networks, this is just a matter of static routing, no need for BIRD. Otherwise, you may probably want to setup Babel or OSPF. Maria On April 27, 2021 12:04:30 AM GMT+02:00, Myron <myron@co-hop.uk> wrote:

Can you make a drawing to show what the network will look like? What is connected to what? Where does the router live? What are the traffic flows you want? What is the story about DHCP traffic? Why is is special?

Ok, so I think you meant 192.168.0.0/24, 192.168.30.0/24 and 192.168.31.0/24 in that case? All with 24 instead of 16. Because 192.168.0.0/16 contains everything under 192.168...

Without knowing a bit more in detail what your goal is, you might get answers that are the correct answer for a question that you're not asking. :) Hans
You're right Hans.. I did mean 192.168.0.0/24, 192.168.30.0/24 and 192.168.31.0/24. Also forgot that DHCP does not get sent through a gateway. What I'm after is for each internal network to be able to talk and receive from the others. So, if I have a printer on 192.168.0.20, for that printer to be accessible from the 192.168.30.0/24 and 192.168.31.0/24. Also if there is some device on 192.168.31.0/24 that it can talk to a device on 192.168.0.0/24. etc.... If it's any other network then the packets get routed to 192.168.0.1 to be routed to the Internet. The Internet Provider supplied router does not allow for static routing tables to be setup.
