Help with multiple routing tables.

[Grant Taylor]

Hi,

I need a second set of eyes on the following config.  I feel like I've 
made a mistake and I'm too tired to see it.

  - main_rib is Linux kernel table #254 and has all locally attached 
interfaces.  There is no default gateway in kernel table #254.
  - default_rib is Linux kernel table #253 and only has the default gateway.
  - I have a series of ip rules that cascade across multiple Linux 
kernel tables, 254, others, and finally 253.

I want BIRD to:
  1 Advertise the following routes via RIP:
     - Locally attached
     - Default learned from default_rib (253)
  2 Learn routes from RIP and update main_rib (254)

Currently bird is not doing #2.

I'm not completely sure when I want to learn or not.  I think "learn" is 
for BIRD to learn about the routes from the routing table.  I don't know 
if I need to "learn" in the kernel protocol for table 254 or not.  I 
thought the locally attached routes were picked up via the direct protocol.

BIRD is learning about the single default route in default_rib (253) and 
advertising it via RIP to other systems on the network.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance.



ipv4 table main_rib;
ipv4 table default_rib;

protocol device {
}

protocol kernel {
	ipv4 {
		export all;
		import all;
		table main_rib;
	};
	kernel table 254;
	#learn;
}

protocol kernel {
	ipv4 {
		export none;
		import all;
		table default_rib;
	};
	kernel table 253;
	learn;
}

protocol direct {
	ipv4;
	interface "*";
}

protocol rip {
	interface "eth0", "eth1", "eth2", "eth3" {
		version 2;
	};
	ipv4 {
		export all;
		import all;
		table main_rib;
		table default_rib;
	};
}
