Hi all. I use bird2 (2.0.7) on linux, I want to configure the RIP protocol so that it uses the specified source address. I have two addresses assigned on the network interface, for example 192.0.2.1/32 and 198.51.100.1/31. bird chooses 192.0.2.1 as the source address, but I want the source address to be 198.51.100.1. How do I set the source address for the RIP protocol ?

Hi We do not have explicit option in the RIP protocol, but perhaps the option 'preferred' in the Device protocol would help you: https://bird.network.cz/?get_doc&v=20&f=bird-6.html#device-preferred -- 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."
