Dear all BIRD users, At this moment we are looking into deploy BIRD of FreeBSD so we would like to have some opinion from someone already did it. It should be pretty straight forward but if there is any concerns/issue/experience that anyone want to share, it would be appreciated. -- Best Regards, Eric Nghia Nguyen-Duy NOC engineer www.ams-ix.net eric@ams-ix.net

I don't remember any special for modern versions of FreeBSD.

Hi Eric! I wrote BSD port a while ago. And honestly our primary platform is Linux. So there are some small issues, like BGP passwords (must be set outside BIRD). However it should work, especially in your case, as BGP route server uses very little from OS environment. Ondrej

Hi Ondrej, Thank you for the quick reply. How shall I specify the MD5 password for BIRD in BSD then ?? Could you provide a config sample for it please ? On Thu Sep 4 13:37:07 2014, Ondrej Filip wrote:

http://bird.network.cz/?get_doc&f=bird-6.html#ss6.2 password string Use this password for MD5 authentication of BGP sessions. Default: no authentication. Password has to be set by external utility (e.g. setkey(8)) on BSD systems. Ondrej

There is one unsolved problem with passwords on FreeBSD, 9.2-RELEASE. http://marc.info/?l=bird-users&m=139575629320570&w=2 I haven't checked it with newer versions yet. -- Alexander Shikov Technical Staff, Digital Telecom IX Tel.: +380 44 201 14 07 http://dtel-ix.net/

It looks like I've missed this topic. I'll try to reproduce & investigate.

Dear Alexander,
did you have any luck on reproducing and investigation?
Yes, please take a look at http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=272201 Unfortunately, it’s too late for it to be included in 10.1. I think it should apply to 9/8 as is, please write me if this is not true. I think I’ll come back in a few days with more patches reflecting this piece. I’m going to eliminate TCP_SIGNATURE kernel config option and turn in on by default. Where is also WIP to make IPSEC loatable module so hopefully it will be possible to do this stuff on generic kernel.

Dear Alexander, what tree in SVN should be changed by your commit? I took a look on stable/9/sys/netinet/tcp_subr.c, it has not been changed yet. I'm ready to test your patch as soon as it appear in 9-STABLE. -- Alexander Shikov Technical Staff, Digital Telecom IX Tel.: +380 44 201 14 07 http://dtel-ix.net/
Hi. We are running BIRD on FreeBSD: - 7.2-STABLE i386 - 9.1-STABLE amd64 - 9.2-RELEASE amd64 - 9.2-STABLE amd64 BIRD working fine. If you interested we wrote PHP LG for BIRD.

We've got > 100 bird instances running on FreeBSD boxes. Personally I (as net/bird maintainer) care very much about running bird on FreeBSD.
It should be pretty straight forward but if there is any concerns/issue/experience that anyone want to share, it would be appreciated. It should be. Don't hesitate to ask if you run into some OS-related problems.
