Good morning fellow bird users,
I was wondering how you handle "dynamic reconfigurations" such as rerouting, adding filters, changing the priority of routes in case of attacks? In particular I wonder if there is a "good way" to tell bird to lower or raise a certain route temporarily, i.e. something that would be reset on a reload? Or to tell bird to forget about specific routes that you want to filter for blackholing certain parts? So far in case of attacks we usually edit bird.conf, reload bird and after the attacks are done, purge/overwrite the config with our config management (cdist in our case). This works, but has a bit of a write-reload instead of a set-and-forget behaviour, and I was more looking to something like "set on a switch, but don't issue the write command"-mode. Any thoughts on this? Best regards, Nico -- Sustainable and modern Infrastructures by ungleich.ch
