2000-05-09New example config.Martin Mares
2000-05-07Implemented `show route <...> stats'.Martin Mares
2000-05-07Added commands `show route protocol <p>' and `show route import <p>' whichMartin Mares
show the routing table as exported to the protocol given resp. as returned from its import control hook. To get handling of filtered extended attributes right (even in the old `show route where <filter>' command), the get_route_info hook gets an attribute list and all protocol specific rte attributes are contained there as temporary ones. Updated RIP to do that. Added ea_append() which joins two ea_list's.
2000-05-05Connected the `doc' subtree to global makefiles.Martin Mares
All documentation is built in obj/doc (resp. doc/ if you do a stand-alone build). Use `make docs' to make the whole documentation or `make userdocs' resp. `make progdocs' for user manual resp. developer's guide.
2000-05-05First attempt at documenting configuration.Pavel Machek
2000-05-04Display examples more nicelyPavel Machek
2000-04-30Moved documentation to top of file, where it belongs.Pavel Machek
2000-04-28Include proto/rip/rip.c in documentation system.Pavel Machek
2000-04-28Documentation-generating tool taken from linux-2.3.99-pre6, andPavel Machek
makefile to actually use it.
2000-04-17Few bugs removed from sgml, makefile added.Pavel Machek
2000-04-17Bird.html will now be autogenerated.Pavel Machek
2000-04-17First version of sgml documentationPavel Machek
2000-04-01Changed initialization of protocol list -- now we call proto_build() insteadMartin Mares
of calling the protocols manually. Implemented printing of dynamic attributes in `show route all'. Each protocol can now register its own attribute class (protocol->attr_class, set to EAP_xxx) and also a callback for naming and formatting of attributes. The callback can return one of the following results: GA_UNKNOWN Attribute not recognized. GA_NAME Attribute name recognized and put to the buffer, generic code should format the value. GA_FULL Both attribute name and value put to the buffer. Please update protocols generating dynamic attributes to provide the attr_class and formatting hook.
2000-03-12Made `show status' show uptime and time of last reconfiguration.Martin Mares
2000-03-07Added configuration of default protocol debugging flags.Martin Mares
2000-01-26Updated docs about filters, and added fixme.Pavel Machek
2000-01-19Split off general commands to cmds.c.Martin Mares
Added `show symbols' command which dumps whole symbol table together with symbol types etc.
2000-01-17Reworked proto lists -- each proto is now in two lists: the global oneMartin Mares
(proto_list) and per-type one (original lists). A lot of things simplified. Implemented `disable', `enable' and `restart' CLI commands.
2000-01-16Converted shutdown to a kind of reconfiguration, it's no more handledMartin Mares
as a exception in protocol state machines. Introduced a `shutdown' CLI command. Killed few reconfiguration bugs.
2000-01-16First attempt on dynamic reconfiguration. There are still lots of bugsMartin Mares
and problems to solve, but the hardest part works.
1999-12-20Few more entries for bird documentationPavel Machek
1999-12-18This is first version of documentation. Be sure to take a close lookPavel Machek
at it, and it would be very nice if you wrote at least introductions to your chapters...
1999-12-08Put rip options into config file.Pavel Machek
1999-12-06Logging is now configurable. You can define multiple log outputs (to bothMartin Mares
files and syslog) and assign lists of message categories to each of them.
1999-12-03Implemented `show static'. It's a relatively good example of how to writeMartin Mares
show commands for other protocols.
1999-12-01Added dumping of routing tables (`show route'). This includes filtering.Martin Mares
1999-11-30Remember protocol instance in proto_config and use that forMartin Mares
`show protocols <name>'.
1999-11-30`show interfaces' and `show protocols' works.Martin Mares
1999-11-25Added few basic commands: show status, show interfaces [summary],Martin Mares
show protocols (incomplete).
1999-11-10Added project status report for KSVI.Martin Mares
1999-10-31Started a list of CLI reply codes.Martin Mares
1999-08-03Implemented a Table-to-Table protocol a.k.a The Pipe.Martin Mares
1999-08-03Kernel route syncer supports multiple tables.Martin Mares
The changes are just too extensive for lazy me to list them there, but see the comment at the top of sysdep/unix/krt.c. The code got a bit more ifdeffy than I'd like, though. Also fixed a bunch of FIXME's and added a couple of others. :)
1999-05-17From now we support multiple tables. The master_table variable isMartin Mares
definitely gone. Both rte_update() and rte_discard() have an additional argument telling which table should they modify. Also, rte_update() no longer walks the whole protocol list -- each table has a list of all protocols connected to this table and having the rt_notify hook set. Each protocol can also freely decide (by calling proto_add_announce_hook) to connect to any other table, but it will be probably used only by the table-to-table protocol. The default debugging dumps now include all routing tables and also all their connections.
1999-04-19Updated filters: they now actually see IP/pxlen of net being filtered,Pavel Machek
gateway, and who told us, so they can do usefull jobs from now on.
1999-04-05Changed syntax of attaching filters to protocols to hopefully the finalMartin Mares
version: EXPORT <filter-spec> for outbound routes (i.e., those announced by BIRD to the rest of the world). IMPORT <filter-spec> for inbound routes (i.e., those imported by BIRD from the rest of the world). where <filter-spec> is one of: ALL pass all routes NONE drop all routes FILTER <name> use named filter FILTER { <filter> } use explicitly defined filter For all protocols, the default is IMPORT ALL, EXPORT NONE. This includes the kernel protocol, so that you need to add EXPORT ALL to get the previous configuration of kernel syncer (as usually, see doc/bird.conf.example for a bird.conf example :)).
1999-03-29After today's lengthy discussions about filter syntax, let's clean upMartin Mares
whitespace/semicolon rules for whole config file: o All non-zero amounts of whitespace are equivalent to single space (aka `all the whitespace has been born equal' ;-)). o Comments count as whitespace. o Whitespace has no syntactic signifance (it can only separate lexical elements). o Consequence: line ends are no longer treated as `;'s. o Every declaration must be terminated by an explicit `;' unless or by a group enclosed in `{' and `}'.
1999-03-26Moved to a much more systematic way of configuring kernel protocols.Martin Mares
o Nothing is configured automatically. You _need_ to specify the kernel syncer in config file in order to get it started. o Syncing has been split to route syncer (protocol "Kernel") and interface syncer (protocol "Device"), device routes are generated by protocol "Direct" (now can exist in multiple instances, so that it will be possible to feed different device routes to different routing tables once multiple tables get supported). See doc/bird.conf.example for a living example of these shiny features.
