The "birdc configure" command is used to configure and modify the configuration settings of the BIRD internet routing daemon. BIRD is a routing software that manages the exchange of network routes between routers in a network.
When you execute the "birdc configure" command, it opens an interactive configuration editor in the BIRD Control Interface (birdc). The configuration editor allows you to modify the configuration parameters of BIRD, such as network interfaces, routing protocols, routing filters, and route preferences.
Using the configuration editor, you can add, remove, or modify various configurations. Once you make the desired changes, you can save the updated configuration and exit the editor. The new configuration will then be applied to BIRD, causing it to implement the changes and update the routing behavior accordingly.
It's important to note that the "birdc configure" command should be used with caution, as incorrect configuration changes may result in network issues or instability.
