Hi Farhad,<br>
<br>
If I understand your intention, you want to use `birdc configure` to <br>
update/reload your running bird conf, i.e. if your routes or <br>
route-options in &quot;protocol static&quot; have been changed.<br>
<br>
Using `configure`, the state of other protocols like ospf, bgp, rip, etc <br>
will not change, so I would consider it &quot;safe&quot; to use. (I use it anytime \
<br> to apply changes on filters or attributes, etc and never observed an issue.)<br>
<br>
`birdc configure` will not apply a faulty/broken config. You can also <br>
test it with upfront with `birdc -c &lt;conf&gt; -p`. This will only parse the <br>
config and all its includes etc and will exit with non-zero if there are <br>
any syntax errors.<br>
<br>
If I understand `reload`, reload will shutdown/close i.e. a ospf or bgp <br>
session, remove all routes, and re-init the session.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Bernd<br>
