Hello, We are currently using GoBGP with keepalived and are looking to switch to BIRD. We currently have keepalived inject the VIPs into GoBGP via the following quorum_up and quorum_down commands:
quorum_up "/usr/bin/gobgp global rib add -a ipv4 [VIP-ADDRESS]/32" quorum_down "/usr/bin/gobgp global rib del -a ipv4 [VIP-ADDRESS]/32" Is there a similar mechanism with BIRD? Right now what I've done is instead I'm having keepalived add/remove the VIPs to/from a dummy interface and have the dummy interface as one of the interested interfaces under protocol direct. quorum_up "/usr/bin/ip address add [VIP-ADDRESS]/32 dev VIPs" quorum_down "/usr/bin/ip address delete [VIP-ADDRESS]/32 dev VIPs" This works as expected, when keepalived adds the VIPs BIRD exports them and when keepalived removes the VIPs BIRD stops exporting them. However, I am still curious if there is a mechanism where I can tell keepalived to tell BIRD directly to advertise them?
