Hi Ondrej,
Thanks for your reply. I have upgraded the kernel on my VM and now I am getting
the 3107 routes in the mtab4 table in the bird. But the routes are not
programed to mpls Kernel table. Maybe I am missing some configuration in the
bird.conf. can you please help.
Below is the bird.conf that I am using,
router id 198.51.101.10;
ipv4 table master4;
ipv6 table master6;
ipv4 table mtab4;
ipv6 table mtab6;
protocol kernel {
persist;
scan time 10;
ipv4 {
export all;
import all;
};
}
protocol direct {
ipv4 {
export all;
import all;
};
interface "-eth*", "*";
}
protocol device {
scan time 10; # Scan interfaces every 10 seconds
}
protocol bgp {
local 10.10.101.2 as 65110; # Use a private AS number
neighbor 10.10.101.1 as 65001; # Our neighbor ...
ipv4 {
table master4;
export all;
import all;
next hop self; # advertise this router as next hop
};
# IPv4 with MPLS labels (1/4)
ipv4 mpls {
# explicit IPv4 table
table mtab4;
import all;
export all;
};
}
Below is the routes in the bird,

Hi
I think that 2.0.1 is OK, i don't there is any related bugfix in 2.0.2.
But your kernel is probably too old, MPLS forwarding is rather recent feature.
You should check that you can doo MPLS routes with basic iproute2 commands
(so you have recent kernel and iproute2 tools):
