a friend trying to see if bird will be better than quagga for bgp recording can not see how to get rib dumps, as opposed to just updates. what are we missing? randy
bird supposedly doesn't support rib dumps at this time. Randy Bush wrote (2013/02/22 7:11):

Uh, I'm looking at this in the source below in sysdep/unix/log.c and it looks like it is there. I assume you want "mrtdump protocols messages" The manual for Global options it says this: mrtdump "filename" Set MRTdump file name. This option must be specified to allow MRTdump feature. Default: no dump file. mrtdump protocols all|off|{ states, messages } Set global defaults of MRTdump options. See mrtdump in the following section. Default: off. /jgk
359 void 360 mrt_dump_message(struct proto *p, u16 type, u16 subtype, byte *buf, u32 len) 361 { 362 /* Prepare header */ 363 put_u32(buf+0, now_real); 364 put_u16(buf+4, type); 365 put_u16(buf+6, subtype); 366 put_u32(buf+8, len - MRTDUMP_HDR_LENGTH); 367 368 if (p->cf->global->mrtdump_file != -1) 369 write(p->cf->global->mrtdump_file, buf, len); 370 }

Ah, you said rib. Did look at the code a bit more. It looks like there is a "dump routes" command. Might try that. Here it says "birdc" can do some stuff... http://bird.network.cz/?get_doc&f=bird-4.html dump resources|sockets|interfaces|neighbors|attributes|routes|protocols and show route [[for] prefix|IP] [table sym] [filter f|where c] [(export|preexport) p] [protocol p] [options] /jgk On 2/22/13 12:56 AM, John Kemp wrote:
