In the link above, the RIP section's example will return config error in bird v1.6.3. Is this an outdated example for older version of bird? protocol rip { debug all; port 1520; period 12; garbage time 60; interface "eth0" { metric 3; mode multicast; }; interface "eth*" { metric 2; mode broadcast; }; authentication cryptographic; password "secret-shared-key" { algorithm hmac sha256; }; import filter { print "importing"; accept; }; export filter { print "exporting"; accept; }; } Best regards, Steve
