Hi Anand Buddhdev, Change the preference in your static protocol configuration: protocol static { route 0.0.0.0/0 unreachable; preference 99; } Before: bird> show route 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 unreachable [static1 16:21:11] * (200) unreachable [Customer 16:03:09 from 10.10.10.101] (100/-) [i] After: bird> show route 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 unreachable [Customer 16:03:09 from 10.10.10.101] * (100/-) [i] unreachable [static1 16:22:17] (99) You can set any value lower then 100.

Dear BIRD users,

I want to configure bird with a static default like this:

protocol static { route 0.0.0.0/0 unreachable; }

so that if a more specific route isn't known, packets are discarded. With the same BIRD instance, I want to peer over BGP with multiple peers. However, if any one of these peers provides a default route over BGP, I want it to take precedence over the static. How do I get bird to install the peer-supplied default with a higher weight?

Regards, Anand
