Hi All,
After investigate the codes for command "configure", found that when
delete/add channel, the function proto_configure_channel() always return value
"1" , that mean the same is true in function bgp_reconfigure(), line 917 of
proto.c will ignore the change(add/delete channel).... Is my understand
correct ?
Thanks

Subject: BGP channel add/remove
Hi All,
I am using Bird 2.0.2 version, I create a BGP instance with one channel IPV4,
that all work normally. Then I modified configuration file and add new channel
IPV6, and using command "configure" under birdc , found the new added channel
IPV6 is not announced to peer and channel ipv6 is down state. Then I used
"restart bgp", all channels IPV4 and IPV6 are announced, work normally. I
also do another test that delete channel in configure file and used
"configure", it work normally.
Anyone know the difference of actions between "configure" and "restart "?
The command "configure" can dynamically modify the BGP protocol configuration,
cant the action "configure" re-announce the added/removed capability to peer
to update ?
Appreciated your help in advance......
Thanks
Arvin
