Hi! I'm new to the list and new to bird, but know a little bit about bgp and what i want: I want to use bird as a route-server in an ixp environment. If I configure a peer as rc client, i get a syntax-error at "rs client;". The config command should exist according to the documentation... I append the peer-config. Has anyone a hint? I use Version 1.0.11-4. thanks for your answers, Harald protocol bgp AS64002 { local as 64000; neighbor 10.203.0.2 as 64002; rs client; hold time 240; startup hold time 240; connect retry time 120; keepalive time 80; # defaults to hold time / 3 start delay time 5; # How long do we wait before initial connect error wait time 60, 300;# Minimum and maximum time we wait after an error (when consecutive # errors occur, we increase the delay exponentially ... error forget time 300; # ... until this timeout expires) next hop self; # Disable next hop processing and always advertise our local address as nexthop path metric 1; # Prefer routes with shorter paths (like Cisco does) default bgp_med 0; # MED value we use for comparison when none is defined default bgp_local_pref 100; # The same for local preference source address 10.203.0.254; # What local address we use for the TCP connection export all; } -- Harald Michl <harald.michl@univie.ac.at> Vienna University - ACOnet www.ACO.net - VIX www.VIX.at Universitaetsstrasse 7, A-1010 Vienna, Austria, Europe Tel: +43 1 4277 - 14078 (Fax: - 9140) HM3550-RIPE

The route server functionality is available from version 1.0.12 -- 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."
Hi, Let me ask you a question in passing. I'm also tring to test a bird as route-server. Does the bird have any function like "rs-processing of quagga"? If not, Is there any plan to implement? http://www.quagga.net/docs/quagga.html#SEC115 Thanks in advance. Ondrej Zajicek wrote (2009/01/21 1:10):

No, Bird does not support per-RS-client routing table and policy in the same manner as Quagga. Although we have support for more routing tables, they are not very useful for this use case. There is no conrete plan for implementing this feature, although it should not be hard, i hope. -- 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."

Ah, I see. I use Debian stable and the standard package received was version 1.0.11. Will the debian distribution be updated? As far as I know version 1.0.12 is "alive" since last november. Thanks for you answer Ondrej! -Harald

1.0.12 is available in Debian unstable: http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=bird&searchon=names&suite=all&sec... Bird in Debian stable is not likely to be upgraded. Check backports.org, though. -- sizif
