Dynamic routing configuration (.bird and .bird6)

Dynamic routing configuration files can be imported from SNS version 3.10.2 or 4.1.1 upwards.

Every firewall that uses a dynamic routing configuration has:

  • A ".bird" file for IPv4 networks and routes,
  • A ".bird6" file for IPv6 networks and routes.

These files can be retrieved via SSH on an active firewall in the folder /usr/Firewall/ConfigFiles/Bird/.

The Bird configuration can also be displayed in the SNS firewall's administration interface in Configuration > Network > Routing, Dynamic routing tab.

Name

Firewall_Serial_Number.bird
Firewall_Serial_Number.bird6

EXAMPLES
SN310A00000000Z.bird
SN310A00000000Z.bird6

IMPORTANT
To ensure that the dynamic routing configuration is used, in addition to Bird files, you have to enable the Bird and Bird6 modules on the firewall, by using an additional ".csv" configuration file, which will make it possible to run a setconf operation. For more information, see Additional configuration files.
