Issue with OpenBGPD

[CHIKHI]

Hi,

I'm adding a static route to the OpenBGPD process. The route is distributed correctly.
But when I delete the route, OpenBGPD still distribute it, even it is no longer in the routing table ( netstat -rn4).

I have to restart the OpenBGPD process to delete the route.

Is there any way to force OpenBGPD to delete the routes without restart?

Thanks!

I only used net/openbgpd briefly before settling on net/bird so I'm not sure how much help I can provide. I guess to start your bgpd.conf configuration for this section would be helpful. Does bgpctl reload work to trigger a refresh of the kernel FIB down to the BGP routing table?

No, unfortunately it doesn't help.

No, unfortunately it doesn't help.

I would ask on misc@openbsd. Even though that you are not running OpenBGPD on its native platform it is likely that people will be able to help you.

I think Oko's recommendation may be the best idea. I would think there would be an option to have OpenBGPD check the kernel FIB periodically to propagate the changes that someone more familiar with OpenBGPD can assist with.

Ok thanks all for you help. I'm going to ask on misc@openbsd.
