Passive Mode Support

[perimore]

Hi All,

Does OpenBMP support passive mode connections? I.e. where OpenBMP makes the TCP connection to the router. I can see the isPassive flag in the Routers table but when trying to manually create a record for a passive device, it isn't connected to.

Thanks, Sean

That is currently ignored right now. When we add passive support, the config will be done at the collector level in the openbmpd.conf since the collector doesn't talk to the DB. Later we'll have the config via Kafka, so that collectors can dynamically receive their configuration instead of having a static file.

For now, I'll mark this as an enhancement request. Please let us know if this is a priority for your deployment(s).

Got it, thanks Tim! It's not a priority at this stage, more of a nice to have until I can use active mode with my device.
