Hello folks, I'm not have experience to work with bird.conf, but I have two questions: 1) How can I do a loopback with my neighbor? 2) How can I configure a static route? They are so basic question, but I'm not find documentation about this. Look my bird.conf --------------------- # Configuração do bird # Turn on global debugging of all protocols #debug protocols all; # Configure logging log syslog { debug, trace, info, remote, warning, error, auth, fatal, bug }; log stderr all; log "/usr/local/bird/log/bird.log" all; # Override router ID router id 189.53.248.214; # Override router ID listen bgp address 189.53.248.214 port 179; # Define a route filter... #filter test_filter { # if net ~ 10.0.0.0/16 then accept; # else reject; #} #filter sink { reject; } #filter okay { accept; } # Define another routing table #table testable; # The direct protocol automatically generates device routes to # all network interfaces. Can exist in as many instances as you wish # if you want to populate multiple routing tables with device routes. #protocol direct { # interface "-eth*", "*"; # Restrict network interfaces it works with #} # This pseudo-protocol performs synchronization between BIRD's routing # tables and the kernel. If your kernel supports multiple routing tables # (as Linux 2.2.x does), you can run multiple instances of the kernel # protocol and synchronize different kernel tables with different BIRD tables. protocol kernel { # learn; # Learn all alien routes from the kernel persist; # Don't remove routes on bird shutdown scan time 20; # Scan kernel routing table every 20 seconds # import none; # Default is import all export all; # Default is export none # kernel table 5; # Kernel table to synchronize with (default: main) } # This pseudo-protocol watches all interface up/down events. protocol device { scan time 10; # Scan interfaces every 10 seconds } # Static routes (again, there can be multiple instances, so that you # can disable/enable various groups of static routes on the fly). protocol static { # disabled; # Disable by default # table testable; # Connect to a non-default table # preference 1000; # Default preference of routes # debug { states, routes, filters, interfaces, events, packets }; # debug all; # route 0.0.0.0/0 via 62.168.0.13; # route 62.168.0.0/25 reject; # route 10.0.0.0/8 reject; # route 10.1.1.0:255.255.255.0 via 62.168.0.3; # route 10.1.2.0:255.255.255.0 via 62.168.0.3; # route 10.1.3.0:255.255.255.0 via 62.168.0.4; # route 10.2.0.0/24 via "arc0"; } protocol bgp { import none; export where proto = "static_bgp"; local as 262774; neighbor 189.53.248.213 as 4230; } --------------------- []'s Virgilio Pavel
