BGP sessions resetting on configure
Is there a preferred way to reload the configuration? I noticed sometimes when we 'configure soft' it will reset the bgp sessions. Is this the normal behavior? Is there another method? Thanks, Stephen Holmes
Ignore this. Sometimes it takes a good night's reset and you wake up with the solution. -Stephen From: owner-bird-users@atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz [mailto:owner-bird-users@atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz] On Behalf Of Stephen Holmes Sent: Thursday, January 20, 2011 1:24 PM To: 'bird-users@bird.network.cz' Subject: BGP sessions resetting on configure Is there a preferred way to reload the configuration?

FYI, I was doing something dumb. When building my configs from my DB, I was setting the start delay to a random int between 20-60, this was causing the BGP config to change every time I ran a config update (hourly), thus restarting the session. -Stephen From: Stephen Holmes Sent: Friday, January 21, 2011 9:40 AM To: Stephen Holmes; 'bird-users@bird.network.cz' Subject: RE: BGP sessions resetting on configure Ignore this.

I thought 'configure soft' tries very hard not to restart protocols? -- Wanna turn ICANN into ICANN't? Join a darknet today: http://www.anonet2.org/darknet_comparison

Generally both 'configure' and 'configure soft' tries not to restart protocols, but handling reconfiguring of most BGP parameters is not implemented, as main concern with regard to BGP is changing filters, which is handled. -- 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."
