Re: ExaBGP and BIRD clue in the house?

2 Jul 2015

      FYI, if the static is moved up within the neighbor definition, it works. 
   So this is an Exa related issue/feature and not a problem with BIRD.

I'll move the noise to the Exa list if needed.

I've reduced it to a simple config:
BIRD:
protocol bgp {
 description "ExaBGP-local";
 local as 12345;
 allow local as 1;
 neighbor 10.0.0.2 as 12345;
 next hop keep;
 start delay time 5;
 import all;
 export all;
}
EXABGP:
group gixlg {
    hold-time 180;
    local-as 12345;
    router-id 10.0.0.2;
    family {
       ipv4 unicast;
    }
    neighbor 10.0.0.1 {
       router-id 10.0.0.2;
       local-address 10.0.0.2;
       peer-as 12345;
       description "Bird-local";
       group-updates;
    }
    static {
       route 1.2.3.4/32 next-hop 4.3.2.1;
    }
}
Everything comes up.   But bird has no routes.
