DYNAMIC ROUTING

BIRD supports the following versions of dynamic routing protocols:

  • Rip v2,
  • OSPF v2 for IPv4 and OSPF v3 for IPv6,
  • BGP v4 for IPv4 and IPv6.

In SNS version 4.8 and higher, the firewall can run the BIRD dynamic routing engine in either version 1 (obsolete) or version 2.

By doing so, a configuration in BIRD v1 can be migrated to BIRD v2 without risk.

The Dynamic routing module is organized in three or four tabs, depending on whether the dynamic routing configuration applies to IPv6:

  • General tab,
  • The tab named BIRD v2 or BIRD v2 (INACTIVE), depending on whether BIRD v2 has been enabled,
  • The tab named IPv4 BIRD v1 or IPv4 BIRD v1 (INACTIVE), depending on whether IPv4 BIRD v1 has been enabled,
  • The tab named IPv6 BIRD v1 or IPv6 BIRD v1 (INACTIVE), depending on whether IPv6 BIRD v1 has been enabled,
