simple config for exchanging static routes via BGP between two ho sts
I am trying to setup a simple test of exchanging routing tables between two hosts. I have two static routes (one on each host) and I want BGP to advertise these routes to its peer. I will be damned if I can figure out this simple configuration. Can someone help me out? Here is the big picture. I will have a machine in about 6 states across the nation. They will all be advertising the same IP (used for out bound SMTP service) that I want to inject to the BGP tables for the network. This will allow me to have regional SMTP servers and off load a lot of work from my central SMTP farm. Anyway, to make a long story short, if one of the boxes dies, its BGP advertisement will also go away (funny how that works huh?). This will cause BGP to reconverge and direct traffic to the next nearest SMTP server. I am just trying to get started w/ the bird config and could use a little help. Thanks John M. Johnson
