Hello!
BIRD checks that the routes in OS table are still there. If you delete
any of them accidentally, BIRD reinstalls it as soon as possible.

Hi,
I assume when kernel protocol is configured with export all “protocol
kernel {ipv4 { export all;};}”, bird performs synchronization of bird's
routing tables with the OS kernel.
When the learn switch is disabled and no import is there, why bird is
doing a periodic krt_scan and sends netlink request to os kernel to get
the routes dump?
When learn switch is enabled, then non bird routes are learnt from os
kernel and added to bird’s routing table, then what's the use of import
command? Looks bit ambiguous.
Please correct me if my understanding is incorrect.
Debug all all enabled:
bird: krt_scan(time=2021-09-17 05:28:40.478)
bird: kernel1: Scanning routing table
bird: kernel1: 0.0.0.0/0: [alien] ignored
bird: kernel1: Pruning table master4
my bird config for kernel:
protocol kernel {
ipv4 { };
}
Or this happens with this config too
protocol kernel {
ipv4 { export all;};
}
Thanks and Regards,
Senthil
