Configuring Bird2
|
||
|
=================
|
||
|
|
||
|
We now need to configure the routing daemon for your router which will allow you to
|
||
|
exchange routes with other routers over the tunnels you will setup later. This is at
|
||
|
the core of what makes CRXN an inter-network.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The software we use for this procedure is known as BIRD or _BIRD Internet Routing Daemon_,
|
||
|
of which there are two versions:
|
||
|
|
||
|
1. Bird 1.6
|
||
|
2. Bird 2
|
||
|
|
||
|
You can use Bird 1.6 but you are on your own then in terms of configuration, the syntax
|
||
|
differs slightly but we recommend (and for the rest of this document we will be) using
|
||
|
Bird 2 as it comes with many bug fixes and improvements and most distributions (including Debian)
|
||
|
now have support for it.
