I'm using bird 1.0.4 on an Intel Linux box (homemade distro). I've
configured bird to do RIP broadcast. I then plugged the system into my
local network and into a separate network and did the same with my desktop
system. I configured bird to dump lots of debug info to the syslog, and I
see it say that it broadcasts its routing table to both eth0 and eth1, but
watching either network shows me absolutely no traffic from either
interface. I pinged back and forth to be sure, and I can see the pings
and the associated ARP traffic quite clearly, but no RIP broadcasts at
all.
How are you watching?? Can you see UDP traffic? If not, use
Ethereal.
