[k.abdalla at q-ab.com]

Hi ,

Thanks for notes / advice 

We are  working on test environment  and  wanted to test different  types of route servers deployments .
And , for the production we'll use BIRD as per you recommendation .
Now  , I have created Bird instance and added it successfully to IXP manager , 
How to stream the configuration to the BIRD instance ?


Thanks

It would be a bad idea to use IOS for a route server: it is not rfc7947 compliant (i.e. cannot perform route server functionality properly) and it's troublesome to script properly.

If you want a route server, by far your best option would be to follow the instructions for deploying BIRD from the IXP Manager documentation.

 This is a supported configuration which people will be able to help you with.  Cisco IOS is not supported and you'll be on your own.
