This is an implementation of draft-walton-bgp-hostname-capability-02.
It is implemented since quite some time for FRR and in datacenter, this
gives a nice output to avoid using IP addresses.
It is disabled by default. The hostname is retrieved from uname(2) and
can be overriden with "hostname" option. The domain name is never set
nor displayed.
Minor changes by committer.
This is a quick workaround for an issue where configured logfiles are
opened/created during parsing of a config file even when parse-and-exit
option is active. We should later refactor the logging code to avoid
opening log during parsing altogether.
The C11 specification allows only sig_atomic_t and _Atomic variable
access. All other accesses to global variables are undefined behavior.
Using int was probably OK on x86 and x86_64; yet there were some reports
from other architectures (especially some MIPS) that in rare cases,
after issuing SIGHUP, BIRD did strange things.
When 'graceful down' command is entered, protocols are shut down
with regard to graceful restart. Namely Kernel protocol does
not remove routes and BGP protocol does not send notification,
just closes the connection.
The old behavior was that enabling debugging did many nontrivial changes
in BIRD behavior. The patch changes it that these changes are generally
independent. Compiling with --enable-debug now just enables compile-time
debug macros, but do not automatically activate debug mode (-d) nor local
mode (-l). Debug mode with output to file (-D) do not force foreground
mode (-f), therefore there is no need for backgroud option (-b), which is
removed. Also fixes a bug when the default log target in -D mode was
stderr instead of given debug file.
Allow to specify log file size limit and ensure that log file is rotated
to secondary name to avoid exceeding of log size limit.
The patch also fixes a bug related to keeping old fds open after
reconfiguration and using old fds after 'configure undo'.
Also removed the lib-dir merging with sysdep. Updated #include's
accordingly.
Fixed make doc on recent Debian together with moving generated doc into
objdir.
Moved Makefile.in into root dir
Retired all.o and birdlib.a
Linking the final binaries directly from all the .o files.
Explicit setting of AF_INET(6|) in IP socket creation. BFD set to listen
on v6, without setting the V6ONLY flag to catch both v4 and v6 traffic.
Squashing and minor changes by Ondrej Santiago Zajicek
Several new configure command variants:
configure undo - undo last reconfiguration
configure timeout - configure with scheduled undo if not confirmed in timeout
configure confirm - confirm last configuration
configure check - just parse and validate config file
- Adds check to deny config file with no specified protocol to prevent
loading of empty config file.
- Moves CLI init before config parse to receive immediate error message
when cannot open control socket.
- Fixes socket name path check and other error handling in CLI init.
- BSD kernel syncer is now self-conscious and can learn alien routes
- important bugfix in BSD kernel syncer (crash after protocol restart)
- many minor changes and bugfixes in kernel syncers and neighbor cache
- direct protocol does not generate host and link local routes
- min_scope check is removed, all routes have SCOPE_UNIVERSE by default
- also fixes some remaining compiler warnings
o Nothing is configured automatically. You _need_ to specify
the kernel syncer in config file in order to get it started.
o Syncing has been split to route syncer (protocol "Kernel") and
interface syncer (protocol "Device"), device routes are generated
by protocol "Direct" (now can exist in multiple instances, so that
it will be possible to feed different device routes to different
routing tables once multiple tables get supported).
See doc/bird.conf.example for a living example of these shiny features.
the kernel routing table as opposed to modifying it which is approximately
the same on non-netlink systems, I've split the kernel routing table
routines to read and write parts. To be implemented later ;-)
