Bird imported from BGP doesn't have proper gateways

gp flag

I'm having troubles in BIRD configuration, Let me share some background. There are 2 hosts, host A is 192.168.0.188, and host B is 192.168.0.224. And created the new IP address on the loopback interface:

  1. host A(192.168.0.188)
  • lo.0 2.2.2.1/32
  1. host B(192.168.0.224)
  • lo.0 3.3.3.1/32

I want to build routes between these 2 hosts. Let the host A be able to connect loopback IP address(3.3.3.1) on host B. After startup the bird on both hosts. The problem happened on the gateway when show the route information on host B:

$ birdcl show route
BIRD 2.0.7 ready.
Table master4:
0.0.0.0/0   via 192.168.0.1 on eth0           unicast [kernel1 21:03:59.593] (10)
2.2.2.1/32  via 192.168.0.1 on eth0           unicast [Uplink0 22:51:04.482 from 192.168.0.188] * (100/?) [i]

I was hoping the routes should have "via 192.168.0.188" instead of "via 192.168.0.1";

Below is the host setup and bird configuration:

# host A
ifconfig lo:0 2.2.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.255 up
ip addr add 2.2.2.1/32 dev lo

# Host B
ifconfig lo:0 3.3.3.1 netmask 255.255.255.255 up

Host A Bird configuration:

log "/var/log/bird.log" all;
router id 192.168.0.188;

protocol device {
  debug { states };
  scan time 2;
}

protocol kernel {
  learn;
  scan time 2;
  ipv4 {
    import all;
    export all;
  };
}

protocol direct {
  debug { states };
  interface "lo";
}

protocol bgp {
  debug { states };
  local 192.168.0.188 as 64514;
  neighbor 192.168.0.224 as 64514;
  ipv4 {
    export  filter {
      if ( net = 2.2.2.1/32 ) then { accept; }
      reject;
    };
    import all;
    add paths on;
  };
}

Host A Bird configuration:

log "/var/log/bird.log" all;
router id 192.168.0.224;

protocol device {
  debug { states };
  scan time 2;
}

protocol kernel {
  learn;
  scan time 2;
  ipv4 {
    import all;
    export all;
  };
}

protocol direct {
  debug { states };
  interface "lo";
}

protocol bgp {
  debug { states };
  local 192.168.0.224 as 64514;
  neighbor 192.168.0.188 as 64514;
  ipv4 {
    export  filter {
      if ( net = 3.3.3.1/32 ) then { accept; }
      reject;
    };
    import all;
    add paths on;
  };
}

Could you let me know what configuration is need to correct?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
