The name `BIRD' is actually an acronym standing for `BIRD Internet Routing Daemon'.
|
|
|
|
Let's take a closer look at the meaning of the name:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p><em/BIRD/: Well, we think we have already explained that. It's an acronym standing
|
|
|
|
for `BIRD Internet Routing Daemon', you remember, don't you? :-)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p><em/Internet Routing/: It's a program (well, a daemon, as you are going to discover in a moment)
|
|
|
|
which works as a dynamic router in an Internet type network (that is, in a network running either
|
|
|
|
the IPv4 or the IPv6 protocol). Routers are devices which forward packets between interconnected
|
|
|
|
networks in order to allow hosts not connected directly to the same local area network to
|
|
|
|
communicate with each other. They also communicate with other routers in the Internet to discover
|
|
|
|
the topology of the network which allows them to find optimal (in terms of some metric) rules for
|
|
|
|
forwarding of packets (which will be called routes in the rest of this document) and to adapt to the
|
|
|
|
changing conditions such as outages of network links, building of new connections and so on. Most of
|
|
|
|
these routers are costly dedicated devices running obscure firmware which is hard to configure and
|
|
|
|
not open to any changes. Fortunately, most operating systems of the UNIX family allow an ordinary
|
|
|
|
computer to act as a router and forward packets belonging to the other hosts, but only according to
|
|
|
|
a statically configured table.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>A <em/Routing Daemon/ is in UNIX terminology a non-interactive program running on
|
|
|
|
background which does the dynamic part of Internet routing, that is it communicates
|
|
|
|
with the other routers, calculates routing tables and sends them to the OS kernel
|
|
|
|
which does the actual packet forwarding.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>There already exist some such routing daemons (routed, GateD <HTMLURL URL="http://www.gated.org/">
|
|
|
|
and Zebra <HTMLURL URL="http://www.zebra.org">), but their capabilities are very limited and
|
|
|
|
they are very hard to configure and maintain.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>BIRD is an Internet Routing Daemon designed to avoid all of these shortcomings,
|
|
|
|
to support all the routing technology used in today's Internet or planned to be
|
|
|
|
used in near future and to have a clean extensible architecture allowing new routing
|
|
|
|
protocols to be incorporated easily. Among other features, BIRD supports:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<itemize>
|
|
|
|
<item>both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols
|
|
|
|
<item>multiple routing tables
|
|
|
|
<item>the Border Gateway Protocol (BGPv4)
|
|
|
|
<item>the Routing Interchange Protocol (RIPv2)
|
|
|
|
<item>the Open Shortest Path First protocol (OSPFv2)
|
|
|
|
<item>a virtual protocol for exchange of routes between internal routing tables
|
|
|
|
<item>a command-line interface allowing on-line control and inspection
|
|
|
|
of status of the daemon
|
|
|
|
<item>soft reconfiguration (no need to use complex online commands
|
|
|
|
to change the configuration, just edit the configuration file
|
|
|
|
and notify BIRD to re-read it and it will smoothly switch
|
|
|
|
to the new configuration, not disturbing routing protocols
|
|
|
|
unless they are affected by the configuration changes)
|
|
|
|
<item>powerful language for route filtering
|
|
|
|
</itemize>
|
|
|

|
<p>BIRD has been developed at the Faculty of Math and Physics, Charles University, Prague,
|
|
|
|
Czech Republic as a student project. It's distributed under the terms of the GNU General
|
|
|
|
Public License.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>BIRD has been designed to work on all UNIX-like systems. It has been developed and
|
|
|
|
tested under Linux 2.0 to 2.3, but porting to other systems (even non-UNIX ones) should
|
|
|
|
be relatively easy due to its highly modular architecture).

<sect1>About this documentation
|
|
|
|
|
2000-05-19 15:58:39 +02:00
|
|
|
<p>This documentation can have 4 forms: sgml (this is master copy), html, ASCII text (generated from
|
2000-05-11 13:54:03 +02:00
|
|
|
html) and dvi/postscript (generated from sgml using sgmltools). You should always edit master copy,
|
|
|
|
it is slightly modified linuxdoc dtd. Anything in <descrip> tags is considered definition of
|
2000-05-16 20:47:06 +02:00
|
|
|
configuration primitives, <cf> is fragment of configuration within normal text, <m> is
|
2000-05-25 14:33:42 +02:00
|
|
|
"meta" information within fragment of configuration -- something in config which is not keyword.

|
|
|
<p>On UNIX system, installing BIRD should be as easy as:
|
2000-05-29 14:05:56 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<code>
|
|
|
|
./configure
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
vi /usr/local/etc/bird.conf
|
|
|
|
</code>

|
|
|
<sect1>About routing tables
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Bird has one or more routing tables. Each routing table contains
|
2000-05-29 13:22:43 +02:00
|
|
|
list of known routes. Each route has certain attributes, most
|
|
|
|
important is prefix of network this route is for. Routing table
|
|
|
|
maintains more than one entry for network, but at most one entry for
|
|
|
|
one network and one protocol. The entry with biggest preference is
|
|
|
|
used for routing. If there are more entries with same preference and
|
|
|
|
they are from same protocol, protocol decides (typically according to
|
|
|
|
metrics). You can get list of route attributes in "Route attributes"
|
2000-05-25 17:28:24 +02:00
|
|
|
section in filters.

<p>BIRD is configured using text configuration file. At startup, BIRD reads <file/bird.conf/ (unless
|
|
|
|
-c command line parameter is given). Configuration may be changed on user request: if you modify
|
|
|
|
config file and then signal BIRD with SIGHUP, it will adjust to new config. There's BIRD client,
|
2000-05-29 12:32:37 +02:00
|
|
|
which allows you to talk with BIRD in more extensive way than just telling it to reconfigure. BIRD
|
2000-05-28 21:11:08 +02:00
|
|
|
writes messages about its work to log files or syslog (according to config).

<p>Bird is configured using text configuration file. At startup, bird
|
|
|
|
reads <file/bird.conf/ (unless -c command line parameter is
|
|
|
|
given). Everything on a line after <cf/#/ is a comment, whitespace is
|
2000-05-25 17:11:13 +02:00
|
|
|
ignored, C-style comments <cf>/* comment */</cf> are also
|
|
|
|
recognized. If there's variable number of options, it is grouped using
|
2000-05-25 17:01:08 +02:00
|
|
|
<cf/{ }/ brackets. Each option is terminated by <cf/;/.

|
|
|
<p>BIRD contains rather simple programming language. (No, it can not yet read mail :-). There are
|
|
|
|
two objects in this language: filters and functions. Filters are called by BIRD core when route is
|
2000-04-17 18:48:22 +02:00
|
|
|
being passed between protocol and main routing table, and filters may call functions. Functions may
|
2000-05-25 14:33:42 +02:00
|
|
|
call other functions, but recursion is not allowed. Filter language contains control structures such
|
2000-04-17 18:48:22 +02:00
|
|
|
as if's and switches, but it allows no loops. Filters are
|
2000-05-16 20:47:06 +02:00
|

<p>You can find sources of filters language in <file>filter/</file>
|
|
|
|
directory. <file>filter/config.Y</file> contains filter grammar, and basically translates source from
|
|
|
|
user into tree of <cf>f_inst</cf> structures. These trees are later interpreted using code in
|
2000-05-19 15:58:39 +02:00
|
|
|
<file>filter/filter.c</file>. Filters internally work with values/variables in <tt>struct
|
|
|
|
f_val</tt>, which contains type of value and value.

<p>Filter basically gets the route, looks at its attributes and
|
|
|
|
modifies some of them if it wishes. At the end, it decides, whether to
|
|
|
|
pass change route through (using <cf/accept/), or whether to <cf/reject/ given route. It looks
|
|
|
|
like this:

<p>As you can see, filter has a header, list of local variables, and body. Header consists of
|
|
|
|
<cf/filter/ keyword, followed by (unique) name of filter. List of local variables consists of
|
2000-05-11 13:54:03 +02:00
|
|
|
pairs <cf><M>type name</M>;</cf>, where each pair defines one local variable. Body consists of
|
2000-05-16 20:47:06 +02:00
|
|
|
<cf> { <M>statements</M> }</cf>. Statements are terminated by <cf/;/. You can group
|
|
|
|
several statements into one by <cf>{ <M>statements</M> }</cf> construction, that is useful if
|
2000-04-17 18:48:22 +02:00
|
|
|
you want to make bigger block of code conditional.
|
|
|
|
|
2000-05-28 21:11:08 +02:00
|
|
|
<p>There are two special filters, <cf/all/ (which accepts all routes) and <cf/none/ (which rejects
|
|
|
|
all routes).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2000-05-25 14:33:42 +02:00
|
|
|
<p>Bird supports functions, so that you don't have to repeat same blocks of code over and
|
|
|
|
over. Functions can have zero or more parameters, and can have local variables. Function basically
|
|
|
|
looks like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<code>
|
|
|
|
function name ()
|
|
|
|
int local_variable;
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
|
|
local_variable = 5;
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
function with_parameters (int parameter)
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
|
|
print parameter;
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
</code>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Unlike C, variables are declared after function line but before first {. You can not declare
|
|
|
|
variables in nested blocks. Functions are called like in C: <cf>name();
|
|
|
|
with_parameters(5);</cf>. Function may return value using <cf>return <m/[expr]/</cf>
|
|
|
|
syntax. Returning value exits from current function (this is similar to C).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Filters are declared in similar way to functions, except they can not have explicit
|
|
|
|
parameters. They get route table entry as implicit parameter. Route table entry is passed implicitly
|
2000-05-29 13:13:51 +02:00
|
|
|
to any functions being called. Filter must terminate with either
|
|
|
|
accept or reject statement. If there's runtime error in filter, route
|
|
|
|
is rejected.

<sect1>Data types
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Each variable and each value has certain type. Unlike C, filters distinguish between integers and
|
|
|
|
booleans (that is to prevent you from shooting in the foot).

<descrip>

|
|
|
<tag/bool/ this is boolean type, it can have only two values, <cf/TRUE/ and
|
|
|
|
<cf/FALSE/. Boolean is not compatible with integer and is the only type you can use in if
|
|
|
|
statements.
|
2000-04-17 18:48:22 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2000-05-16 20:47:06 +02:00
|
|
|
<tag/int/ this is common integer, you can expect it to store signed values from -2000000000
|
|
|
|
to +2000000000.
|
2000-04-17 18:48:22 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2000-05-16 20:47:06 +02:00
|
|
|
<tag/pair/ this is pair of two short integers. Each component can have values from 0 to
|
|
|
|
65535. Constant of this type is written as <cf/(1234,5678)/.
|
2000-04-17 18:48:22 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2000-05-16 20:47:06 +02:00
|
|
|
<tag/string/ this is string of characters. There are no ways to modify strings in
|
|
|
|
filters. You can pass them between functions, assign to variable of type string, print
|
|
|
|
such variables, but you can not concatenate two strings (for example). String constants
|
2000-05-25 14:33:42 +02:00
|
|
|
are written as <cf/"This is a string constant"/.
|
2000-04-17 18:48:22 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2000-05-28 21:11:08 +02:00
|
|
|
<tag/ip/ this type can hold single ip address. Depending on version of BIRD you are using, it
|
2000-05-16 20:47:06 +02:00
|
|
|
can be IPv4 or IPv6 address. IPv4 addresses are written (as you would expect) as
|
2000-05-11 13:54:03 +02:00
|
|
|
<cf/1.2.3.4/. You can apply special operator <cf>.mask(<M>num</M>)</cf>
|
|
|
|
on values of type ip. It masks out all but first <cf><M>num</M></cf> bits from ip
|
2000-04-17 18:48:22 +02:00
|
|
|
address. So <cf/1.2.3.4.mask(8) = 1.0.0.0/ is true.
|
|
|
|
|
2000-05-16 20:47:06 +02:00
|
|
|
<tag/prefix/ this type can hold ip address, prefix len pair. Prefixes are written as
|
2000-05-25 14:33:42 +02:00
|
|
|
<cf><M>ipaddress</M>/<M>pxlen</M></cf>, or
|
|
|
|
<cf><m>ipaddress</m>/<m>netmask</m></cf> There are two special
|
|
|
|
operators on prefix:
|
2000-05-16 20:47:06 +02:00
|
|
|
<cf/.ip/, which separates ip address from the pair, and <cf/.len/, which separates prefix
|
|
|
|
len from the pair.

<tag/int|ip|prefix|pair set/
|
2000-04-17 18:48:22 +02:00
|
|
|
filters know four types of sets. Sets are similar to strings: you can pass them around
|
2000-04-17 18:51:28 +02:00
|
|
|
but you can not modify them. Constant of type <cf>set int</cf> looks like <cf>
|
2000-04-17 18:48:22 +02:00
|
|
|
[ 1, 2, 5..7 ]</cf>. As you can see, both simple values and ranges are permitted in
|
|
|
|
sets. Sets of prefixes are special: you can specify which prefixes should match them by
|
2000-04-17 18:51:28 +02:00
|
|
|
using <cf>[ 1.0.0.0/8+, 2.0.0.0/8-, 3.0.0.0/8{5,6} ]</cf>. 3.0.0.0/8{5,6} matches
|
2000-05-16 20:47:06 +02:00
|
|
|
prefixes 3.X.X.X, whose prefix length is 5 to 6. 3.0.0.0/8+ is shorthand for 3.0.0.0/{0,8},
|
2000-04-17 18:48:22 +02:00
|
|
|
3.0.0.0/8- is shorthand for 3.0.0.0/{0,7}.

|
|
|
|
<tag/enum/
|
2000-05-28 21:11:08 +02:00
|
|
|
enumeration types are halfway-internal in the BIRD. You can not define your own
|
2000-05-25 18:28:08 +02:00
|
|
|
variable of enumeration type, but some predefined variables are of enumeration
|
|
|
|
type. Enumeration types are incompatible with each other, again, for your
|
2000-04-17 18:48:22 +02:00
|
|
|
protection.

|
really serving in "any number of autonomous systems", but we

|
|
|
2000-05-29 12:32:37 +02:00
|
|
|
<p>Filter language supports common integer operations <cf>(+,-,*,/)</cf>, parentheses <cf/(a*(b+c))/, comparison
|
2000-05-19 17:59:21 +02:00
|
|
|
<cf/(a=b, a!=b, a<b, a>=b)/. Special operators include <cf/˜/ for "in" operation. In operation can be
|
2000-05-29 13:13:51 +02:00
|
|
|
used on element and set of that elements, or on ip and prefix, or on
|
|
|
|
prefix and prefix or on bgppath and bgpmask or on pair and clist. Its result
|
2000-05-25 14:33:42 +02:00
|
|
|
is true if element is in given set or if ip address is inside given prefix. Operator <cf/=/ is used to assign value
|
|
|
|
to variable.

<sect1>Control structures
|
|
|
|
|
2000-05-16 20:47:06 +02:00
|
|
|
<p>Filters support two control structures: if/then/else and case. Syntax of if/then/else is <cf>if
|
|
|
|
<M>expression</M> then <M>command</M>; else <M>command</M>;</cf> and you can use <cf>{
|
|
|
|
<M>command_1</M>; <M>command_2</M>; <M>...</M> }</cf> instead of one or both commands. <cf>else</cf>
|
|
|
|
clause may be omitted.
|
2000-04-17 18:48:22 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2000-05-16 20:47:06 +02:00
|
|
|
<p><cf>case</cf> is similar to case from Pascal. Syntax is <cf>case <m/expr/ { else |
|
|
|
|
<m/num_or_prefix [ .. num_or_prefix]/ : <m/statement/ ; [ ... ] }</cf>. Expression after
|
2000-05-19 17:59:21 +02:00
|
|
|
<cf>case</cf> can be of any type that can be on the left side of ˜ operator, and anything that could
|
2000-05-16 20:47:06 +02:00
|
|
|
be member of set is allowed before :. Multiple commands are allowed without {} grouping. If argument
|
|
|
|
matches neither of : clauses, else: clause is used. (Case is actually implemented as set matching,
|
|
|
|
internally.)

|
|
|
<code>
|

case arg1 {
|
|
|
|
2: print "two"; print "I can do more commands without {}";
|
|
|
|
3 .. 5: print "three to five";
|
|
|
|
else: print "something else";
|
|
|
|
}

interfaces from the kernel.
|
|

this protocol in the configuration since almost all other protocol

2000-05-29 14:23:49 +02:00
|
|
|
any attributes. Example configuration looks really simple:
|
2000-05-29 13:30:25 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p><code>
|
|

<sect1>Direct
|
|
|
|
|
2000-05-29 13:30:25 +02:00
|
|
|
<p>The Direct protocol is a simple generator of device routes for all the
|
|
|
|
directly connected networks according to the list of interfaces provided
|
|
|
|
by the kernel via the Device protocol.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>It's highly recommended to include this protocol in your configuration
|
|
|
|
unless you want to use BIRD as a route server or a route reflector, that is
|
|
|
|
on a machine which doesn't forward packets and only participates in
|
|
|
|
distribution of routing information.
|
|
|
|
|
2000-05-29 14:23:49 +02:00
|
|
|
<p>Only configurable thing about direct is what interfaces it watches:
|

|
2000-05-29 13:30:25 +02:00
|
|
|
protocol will generate device routes for all the interfaces
|
|
|
|
available. If you want to restrict it to some subset of interfaces
|
|
|
|
(for example if you're using multiple routing tables for policy
|
|
|
|
routing and some of the policy domains don't contain all interfaces),
|
|
|
|
just use this clause.

<sect1>Kernel
|
|
|
|
|
2000-05-29 15:13:58 +02:00
|
|
|
<p>The Kernel protocol is not a real routing protocol. Instead of communicating
|
|
|
|
with other routers in the network, it performs synchronization of BIRD's routing
|
|
|
|
tables with OS kernel. Basically, it sends all routing table updates to the kernel
|
|
|
|
and from time to time it scans the kernel tables to see whether some routes have
|
|
|
|
disappeared (for example due to unnoticed up/down transition of an interface)
|
|
|
|
or whether an `alien' route has been added by someone else.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>If your OS supports only a single routing table, you can configure only one
|
|
|
|
instance of the Kernel protocol. If it supports multiple tables (in order to
|
|
|
|
allow policy routing), you can run as many instances as you want, but each of
|
|
|
|
them must be connected to a different BIRD routing table and to a different
|
|
|
|
kernel table.

<sect2>Introduction
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Rip protocol (sometimes called Rest In Pieces) is simple protocol, where each router broadcasts
|
|
|
|
distances to all networks he can reach. When router hears distance to other network, it increments
|
|
|
|
it and broadcasts it back. Broadcasts are done in regular intervals. Therefore, if some network goes
|
|
|
|
unreachable, routers keep telling each other that distance is old distance plus 1 (actually, plus
|
|
|
|
interface metric, which is usually one). After some time, distance reaches infinity (that's 15 in
|
|
|
|
rip) and all routers know that network is unreachable. Rip tries to minimize situations where
|
2000-05-16 20:47:06 +02:00
|
|
|
counting to infinity is necessary, because it is slow. Due to infinity being 16, you can not use
|
2000-05-11 13:54:03 +02:00
|
|
|
rip on networks where maximal distance is bigger than 15 hosts. You can read more about rip at <HTMLURL
|
2000-05-29 14:05:56 +02:00
|
|
|
URL="http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/rip-charter.html">. Both IPv4 and IPv6 versions of rip are supported by BIRD.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Rip is very simple protocol, and it is not too good. Slow
|
|
|
|
convergence, big network load and inability to handle bigger networks
|
|
|
|
makes it pretty much obsolete in IPv4 world. (It is still usable on
|
|
|
|
very small networks, through.) It is widely used in IPv6 world,
|
|
|
|
because they are no good implementations of OSPFv3.

<sect2>Configuration

|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>In addition to options generic to other protocols, rip supports following options:

|
|
<descrip>
|
2000-05-16 20:47:06 +02:00
|

<tag/authentication none|password|md5/ selects authentication method to use. None means that
|
2000-05-11 13:54:03 +02:00
|
|
|
packets are not authenticated at all, password means that plaintext password is embedded
|
2000-05-16 20:47:06 +02:00
|
|
|
into each packet, and md5 means that packets are authenticated using md5 cryptographic
|
2000-05-11 13:54:03 +02:00
|
|
|
hash. If you set authentication to non-none, it is good idea to add <cf>passwords { }</cf>

|
section.
|
2000-05-16 20:47:06 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<tag>honor always|neighbor|never </tag>specifies, when should be routing table updates
|
|
|
|
honored. (Always, when sent from host on directly connected network, or never.)
|
2000-04-17 18:48:22 +02:00
|
|
|
</descrip>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>There are two options that can be specified per-interface. First is <cf>metric</cf>, with
|
2000-05-16 20:47:06 +02:00
|
|
|
default one. Second is <cf>mode multicast|broadcast|quiet|nolisten|version1</cf>, it selects mode for
|
2000-05-29 12:32:37 +02:00
|
|
|
rip to work in. If nothing is specified, rip runs in multicast mode. <cf>version1</cf> is
|
2000-04-17 18:48:22 +02:00
|
|
|
currently equivalent to <cf>broadcast</cf>, and it makes rip talk at broadcast address even
|
|
|
|
through multicast mode is possible. <cf>quiet</cf> option means that rip will not transmit
|
|
|
|
periodic messages onto this interface and <cf>nolisten</cf> means that rip will talk to this
|
|
|
|
interface but not listen on it.
|
|
|
|
|
2000-05-29 13:53:24 +02:00
|
|
|
<p>Following options generally override specified behavior from RFC. If you use any of these
|
|
|
|
options, BIRD will no longer be RFC-compatible, which means it will not be able to talk to anything
|
2000-05-28 21:11:08 +02:00
|
|
|
other than equally misconfigured BIRD. I warned you.

|
2000-05-25 18:28:08 +02:00
|
|
|
set this to address >1024, you will not need to run bird with UID==0).

<p>RIP defines two route attributes:

|
|
|
|
|
<descrip>
|
|
|
|
<tag>int <cf/rip_metric/</tag> RIP metric of the route (ranging from 0 to <cf/infinity/).
|
|
|
|
When routes from different RIP instances are available and all of them have the same
|
|
|
|
preference, BIRD prefers the route with lowest <cf/rip_metric/.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<tag>int <cf/rip_tag/</tag> RIP route tag: a 16-bit number which can be used
|
|
|
|
to carry additional information with the route (for example, an originating AS number
|
|
|
|
in case of external routes).

<sect1>Static
|
|
|
|
|
2000-05-29 15:13:58 +02:00
|
|
|
<p>The Static protocol doesn't communicate with other routers in the network,
|
2000-05-29 13:30:25 +02:00
|
|
|
but instead it allows you to define routes manually which is often used for
|
|
|
|
specifying how to forward packets to parts of the network which don't use
|
|
|
|
dynamic routing at all and also for defining sink routes (i.e., those
|
|
|
|
telling to return packets as undeliverable if they are in your IP block,
|
|
|
|
you don't have any specific destination for them and you don't want to send
|
|
|
|
them out through the default route to prevent routing loops).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>There are three types of static routes: `classical' routes telling to
|
|
|
|
forward packets to a neighboring router, device routes specifying forwarding
|
|
|
|
to hosts on a directly connected network and special routes (sink, blackhole
|
|
|
|
etc.) which specify a special action to be done instead of forwarding the
|
|
|
|
packet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>When the particular destination is not available (the interface is down or
|
|
|
|
the next hop of the route is not a neighbor at the moment), Static just
|
|
|
|
uninstalls the route from the table its connected to and adds it again as soon
|
|
|
|
as the destinations becomes adjacent again.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The Static protocol has no configuration options. Instead, the
|
|
|
|
definition of the protocol contains a list of static routes which
|
|
|
|
can contain:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<descrip>
|
|
|
|
<tag>route <m/prefix/ via <m/ip/</tag> Static route through
|
|
|
|
a neighboring router.
|
|
|
|
<tag>route <m/prefix/ via <m/"interface"/</tag> Static device
|
|
|
|
route through an interface to hosts on a directly connected network.
|
|
|
|
<tag>route <m/prefix/ drop|reject|prohibit</tag> Special routes
|
|
|
|
specifying to drop the packet, return it as unreachable or return
|
|
|
|
it as administratively prohibited.
|
|
|
|
</descrip>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Static routes have no specific attributes.
