If you agree, i would copy CLI cheatsheet to BIRD wiki. Note that there is one error in the cheatsheet:

You cannot filter routes by protocol name.

That could be done, e.g.: proto = "ospf1" proto ~ "ospf*" Also note that the condition for checking OSPF routes could be easily expressed (without case) by: source ~ [RTS_OSPF..RTS_OSPF_EXT2] -- 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 Alexander, guys, Thanks a lot for your input. Actually it is great if someone has tried a work around to display the equivalent command of "show ip bgp neighbors 1.1.1.1 received-routes" in BIRD. We are able to do this in OpenBGPD. I have heard before that maybe we need to use community to play around. But I am not sure how to do it. It is appreciated if anyone here can give some light.

Hi guys,

I am very new to BIRD daemon. Can I check with anyone in the mailing list on the equivalent commands for the following in BIRD daemon?

-Show ip bgp neighbors 1.1.1.1 advertised-routes (cisco) sh route export <1.1.1.1 peer-name>

-Show ip bgp neighbors 1.1.1.1 received-routes (cisco) No <easy> way to see routes before applying way. If you desperately needs this you can make a separate table for this peer, and use pipe filtering to put needed routes in master table (and vise versa)

-Show ip bgp neighbors 1.1.1.1 routes (cisco) sh route protocol <1.1.1.1 peer-name> [all]

-Bgpctl show rib (OpenBGPD) show route [all] (probably) ?

-Bgpctl show fib (OpenBGPD) show route export kernel (probably) ?

Thanks in advance!

I've translated part of our internal wiki page, regarding bird: http://bird.mpls.in/projects/mpls-bird/wiki/Bird_cheatsheet Maybe it can help a bit more.

Cheers,
