Hi

I am in the process of testing BIRD and am having a problem with starting BIRD with a simple BGP peering configuration

I get this error when I load the configuration,

$bird# /sbin/bird -c bird.conf bird: bird.conf, line 21: syntax error

I can load given configuration without problems. Perhaps you compiled bird with IPv6 support and in that case it expect IPv6 address there. Bird compiled with IPv6 support does not have IPv4 support - for both protocols you have to have two instances of Bird.

Hi Thanks for the quick response. That's seems to have solved it. Thanks for your help. Mo
