Hi, I’m successfully using BIRD with the Go Looking Glass from https://github.com/xddxdd/bird-lg-go. I haven’t needed to use the birdc CLI until now, and I’m a bit confused by it in ways the docs don’t appear to address. (I’m running default distro pkgs on Alma Linux 8.5, one of the post-CentOS RHEL rebuilds.)
The output I get looks like: [root@lg2 ~]# birdc show route | head BIRD 2.0.9 ready. Table master4: 223.94.242.0/23 unreachable [uwpg_rtr1_v4 2022-03-26 from 216.73.71.131] * (100) [AS56041?] unreachable [umrtr2_v4 2022-03-26 from 206.211.216.52] (100) [AS56041?] unreachable [umrtr1_v4 2022-03-26 from 206.211.216.51] (100) [AS56041?] 181.123.200.0/22 unreachable [umrtr1_v4 2022-03-26 from 206.211.216.51] * (100) [AS23201i] unreachable [umrtr2_v4 2022-03-26 from 206.211.216.52] (100) [AS23201i] unreachable [uwpg_rtr1_v4 2022-03-26 from 216.73.71.131] (100) [AS23201i] 88.218.186.0/24 unreachable [umrtr1_v4 2022-03-26 from 206.211.216.51] * (100) [AS62240i] unreachable [umrtr2_v4 2022-03-26 from 206.211.216.52] (100) [AS62240i] 1. Is the “unreachable” bit normal on a looking glass / route collector? 2. What’s with the “?” at the end of some ASes? 3. Where’s the AS paths? All I seem to get is the terminal AS. I’m not sure if I’m not using the tool correctly, or if I’m even using the right tool in the first place. Pointers / clues appreciated?
