Hi,

I am evaluating use of BIRD on my network. In my environment I need to change the bgp_med parameter without causing major impact on established BGP sessions. But the changes in parameter bgp_med only take effect after a "bird restart service".

I tried with birdc unsuccessfully: reload in bgp reload out bgp restart bgp configure soft bird-BGP_MED.conf configure bird-BGP_MED.conf

'configure' and 'reload out qualquer_nome_para_bgp' should work.

My config:

/etc/bird.conf:

log syslog { debug, trace, info, remote, warning, error, auth, fatal, bug }; debug protocols all; router id 192.168.100.1;

include "/etc/bird-static.conf"; include "/etc/bird-BGP_MED.conf";

protocol kernel { export all; scan time 20; }

protocol device { scan time 10; }

protocol bgp qualquer_nome_para_bgp { description "My BGP test Bird Router in LabRouter"; local as 65111; source address 192.168.101.1; neighbor 192.168.101.2 as 65000; export filter { if source = RTS_STATIC then { bgp_med = BGP_MED; accept; } reject; }; import all; }

/etc/bird-static.conf:

protocol static um_nome_qualquer { route 192.168.100.0/24 via 192.168.101.1; }

/etc/bird-BGP_MED.conf:

define BGP_MED=200;

How do I change the parameter bgp_med without losing the BGP session? Thanks
