These router IDs are required to be unique as they are used in the various protocols that BIRD supports in order to determine where a route advertisement came from - see them as a unique identifier of your BIRD router. Failing to do so will cause issues when routing on CRXN **and** a banning (TODO: see how we can enforce this).
#### Device protocol
BIRD supports many protocols which are used to import routing data from and export routing data to. However, the most basic of protocols which BIRD supports is known as the `device` protocol. The job of this protocol is just to provide basic device information to BIRD over time, it is required but luckily does not require much setup.
All that is required for this protocol to work is the following:
```
protocol device {
}
```
You can adjust [scan times and such](https://bird.network.cz/?get_doc&v=20&f=bird-6.html#ss6.4) but the kernel normally will signal any changes to BIRD.
