BIRD Masters,
BIRD 1.2.5
I recently updated my route server configuration to include a new set of BGP
export filters when one peer wants to exclude routes to another peer. The
filter is only applied to those selecting to exclude one another.
When I pushed the new config with only two BGP sessions having the added
filers, the rest untouched, and two new pipes were added, BIRD restarted all
PIPE/BGP sessions after a 'configure soft'. Is this the expected behavior?
Without export filter:
protocol bgp RXXXXX {
local as myas;
neighbor xx.xx.xx.xx as XXXXX;
import filter bgp_in_ASXXXXX;
export all;
route limit 500;
table TXXXXX;
rs client;
start delay time 30;
}
With export filter:
protocol bgp RYYYY {
debug { filters };
local as myas;
neighbor yy.yy.yy.yy as YYYY;
import filter bgp_in_ASYYYY;
export filter bgp_out_ASYYYY;
route limit 1000;
table TYYYY;
rs client;
start delay time 30;
}
Much Appreciated,
Stephen
