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:

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?
Thanks,
-Adam
