================================================================================ |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
The BIRD project aims to develop a dynamic IP routing daemon with full support |
| 14 |
of all modern routing protocols, easy to use configuration interface and |
| 15 |
powerful route filtering language, primarily targeted on (but not limited to) |
| 16 |
Linux and other UNIX-like systems and distributed under the GNU General |
| 17 |
Public License. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
What do we support |
| 20 |
================== |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
o Both IPv4 and IPv6 (use --enable-ipv6 when configuring) |
| 23 |
o Multiple routing tables |
| 24 |
o Border Gateway Protocol (BGPv4) |
| 25 |
o Routing Information Protocol (RIPv2, RIPng) |
| 26 |
o Open Shortest Path First protocol (OSPFv2, OSPFv3) |
| 27 |
o Babel Routing Protocol (Babel) |
| 28 |
o Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) |
| 29 |
o IPv6 router advertisements |
| 30 |
o Static routes |
| 31 |
o Inter-table protocol |
| 32 |
o Command-line interface allowing on-line control and inspection of |
| 33 |
status of the daemon |
| 34 |
o Soft reconfiguration, no need to use complex online commands to |
| 35 |
change the configuration, just edit the configuration file and notify |
| 36 |
BIRD to re-read it and it will smoothly switch itself to the new |
| 37 |
configuration, not disturbing routing protocols unless they are |
| 38 |
affected by the configuration changes |
| 39 |
o Powerful language for route filtering, see doc/bird.conf.example |
| 40 |
o Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD ports |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
How to install BIRD |
| 43 |

| 47 |
ftp://bird.network.cz/pub/bird/debian/ |
| 48 |
ftp://bird.network.cz/pub/bird/redhat/ |
| 49 |
o From source code of the latest stable release version |
| 50 |

How to install BIRD from source code |
| 56 |
------------------------------------ |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
$ ./configure |
| 59 |
$ make |
| 60 |
$ su |
| 61 |
# make install |
| 62 |
# vi /usr/local/etc/bird.conf |

Documentation |
| 67 |
============= |
| 68 |
|
| 69 |
Online documentation is available at http://bird.network.cz/?get_doc or as HTML |
| 70 |
files in the doc directory, you can install it by `make install-docs' and |
| 71 |
rebuild it by `make docs', but you'll need SGMLtools and LaTeX to be installed |
| 72 |
on your machine. You can also download a neatly formatted PostScript version as |
| 73 |
a separate archive (bird-doc-*.tar.gz) from ftp://bird.network.cz/pub/bird/ |
