New release 1.3.0!

[Andrew Lemin]

Great work to all involved :)



We have looked through the notes in the git repository etc however we are still confused as to whether multi-path support can be 'made to work' with RIP or not?





Currently our BIRD configuration defines a unique RIP protocol instance on each of our Linux routers edge interfaces to listen for RIP messages from our edge firewalls (which host and advertise many IPSec VPN routes via RIP);



This means that birds internal route table contains many multipath routes.

In version 1.3.0, will these multipath routes that we have in our bird routing table now be exported to the kernel routing table? Please, please say yes :o/



Thank you for your help. Andy.



# cat /etc/bird.conf

#log syslog { error, fatal, bug };



protocol kernel {       # Protocol pipe to kernel table

        learn;         # Learn static routes in main kernel table

        scan time 10;   # Scan kernel routing table every 20 seconds

        import none;   # Do Not import main kernel routing table into BIRD table

        export filter {if net ~ [10.0.0.0/8+, 172.16.0.0/12+, 192.168.0.0/16+] then { accept; } reject; };

}



protocol device {       # Protocol pipe to network interfaces table

        scan time 10;   # Scan interfaces every 10 seconds

}



protocol rip EDGE2RIP { # Create RIP protocol instance called EDGE2RIP

        timeout time 65; # specifies how old route has to be to be considered unreachable. Default is 4*period (period default is 30)

        garbage time 70; # specifies how old route has to be to be discarded. Default is 10*period (period default is 30)

        honor always;

        export none;    # Do not transmit BIRD table to RIP peers

        import filter {if net ~ [10.0.0.0/8+, 172.16.0.0/12+, 192.168.0.0/16+] then { accept; } reject; };

        interface "eth3" { mode quiet; };

}



protocol rip EDGE1RIP { # Create RIP protocol instance called EDGE1RIP

        timeout time 65; # specifies how old route has to be to be considered unreachable. Default is 4*period (period default is 30)

        garbage time 70; # specifies how old route has to be to be discarded. Default is 10*period (period default is 30)

        honor always;

        export none;    # Do not transmit BIRD table to RIP peers

        import filter {if net ~ [10.0.0.0/8+, 172.16.0.0/12+, 192.168.0.0/16+] then { accept; } reject; };

        interface "eth2" { mode quiet; };

In Gentoo now, thank you:

My apologies for missing 1.2.5; it wasn't planned for production use in LINX.
