Using the "--retain" option does not do what you want. It does, in so far you are indeed right, retain the routes when the Daemons are stopped but it DOES NOT import them when they are started again. The kernel continues to use them though. As the newly started bgpd daemon does not have these routes with their paths in its memory, it would not take them into account on routing changes. It would behave like 120000 static routes that compete with the best route that bgpd selects. So as far as I see it, the situation is still the same. There is no known unix routing suite that is able to get updated e.g. stopped and restarted without loosing the BGP/OSPF/etc routes and thus I can only ask the admin if he really likes to upgrade Quagga. I don't like this neither but please provide a working alternative that's better. bye, -christian- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
