Hello,
I am trying to change my bird config file and then reload it, but when I
try to do
*reload all* or *reload in all *
reload will fail at static1 and static2, but* reload out all* will be

I am not sure what I am missing, your help is much appreciated.
Hi Farhad,
If I understand your intention, you want to use `birdc configure` to
update/reload your running bird conf, i.e. if your routes or
route-options in "protocol static" have been changed.
Using `configure`, the state of other protocols like ospf, bgp, rip, etc
will not change, so I would consider it "safe" to use. (I use it anytime
to apply changes on filters or attributes, etc and never observed an issue.)
`birdc configure` will not apply a faulty/broken config. You can also
test it with upfront with `birdc -c <conf> -p`. This will only parse the
config and all its includes etc and will exit with non-zero if there are
any syntax errors.
If I understand `reload`, reload will shutdown/close i.e. a ospf or bgp
session, remove all routes, and re-init the session.
Best,
Bernd
