CirrostratusHi Rodrigo,
Slightly off topic but can you by chance advice about BGP/BFD configuration. As far as I know those protocols can be configured via imish and tmsh/iControl, but you have to choose one (no way to use both ways at the same time). What would be your advice for new config - go for tmsh/iControl or stay with imish?
tmsh/iControl looks as more friendly and elastic (especially ability to use iControl) but maybe this way is less powerful that imish and not enough for more complicated configurations?
Is that possible to manage BGP/BFD via tmsh/iControl and at the same time (for the same Route Domain) to manage other protocols using imish? Not sure after reading manual - it suggests that all protocols should be removed from RD config but maybe this is not a case?
