Dear bird gurus:
I've got Bird 1.5 compiled on an Arista 7150S24 multi-layer switch platform.
I'm trying to inject a route learned by BGP into the kernel routing table and
then into the switch FIB.
I've got the following export filter configured:
protocol kernel {
persist;
scan time 20;
seconds
import none;
export filter bgp_xxx_in;
}
If I do an #ip route, I can see my entry into the switch routing table
xxx.xxx.xxx.0/22 via xxx.xxx.xxx.1 dev vlan201 proto bird
>From the Arista Linux bash shell, this route is correctly used if I source a
>packet from here.
But this route is not installed into the switch FIB. It looks like Arista only
inject routes that are tagged as "proto kernel" or "proto static" from the RIB
to the FIB and this one is tagged "proto bird".
I've seen some interesting options in the manual like "int krt_source" but it's
a read-only variable.
Is there another way to achieve that ?
Thanks for your help,
Romain
