Re: [44net] Vultr bgp setup

log "/var/log/bird.log" all; I told on the group before that Bird does not have the right to write in the /var/log/ directory and create the log files. Either remove the loging OR give bird the write/create priviledge on its log file. (just make the log files and change its ownership to bird.) ________________________________________ De : 44Net <44net-bounces+petem001=hotmail.com(a)mailman.ampr.org> de la part de Eric Fort via 44Net <44net(a)mailman.ampr.org> Envoyé : 6 avril 2021 20:52 À : 44Net general discussion Cc : Eric Fort Objet : Re: [44net] Vultr bgp setup Ok I have a bgp session established.

(File names indicate which is which. ). The idea here is to do this in incremental steps thus I’m not announcing any routes yet. I simply want to see that I have a peering session established with my neighbor. Then as a next step I can add a routing stanza to announce my networks.
