Hi !!
i tried to install bird in Solaris (SunOS 5.10 Generic_118833-33 sun4u sparc
SUNW,Netra-240) but could not get the luck, may be Sun Os doesn't support
bird!!! So i installed FreeBSD in Netra-240 and then installed Bird (it was
quite easy). Now I configured BGP.When did BGP peering with interface ip, BGP
estalibshed but when i did same with loopback ips, BGP establishment
failed.(note: both loopback ips can be ping from each other).My scenario:
case1: BGP peering with loopback ips
[Router1]------bgp------[Bird]
Configuration:
Router1:
Router1#sh ip int brief
Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status
Protocol
FastEthernet0/0 192.168.157.132 YES NVRAM up up
Loopback0 30.30.30.1 YES NVRAM up

router bgp 300

local as 200;
neighbor 30.30.30.1 as 300;
source address 20.20.20.1;
import all;
export all;
}
With above configuration, i cannot get bgp establishment.So below are my
questions:
1) Can we install bird in Solaris 10?
2) Why with above configurations, BGP fails?Is there any thing i am missing?
3) when i use multihop in bird configuration file, it gives configuration
error!!
Thank you for u're support!!!!!
