Hi
I have similar issues running bird 1.2.5 on vanilla debian lenny.
IPv4 wise I assign /32s to individual lo:x instances as service addresses.
These are showing up in bird.
IPv6 wise I cannot assign /128s to individual lo:x but to the "real"
loopback lo.
This works fine in quagga.
These are not showing up in bird.
If I look at the kernel table from shell with ip -6 route, the /128s are
shown as "unreachable" with error -101 but working fine with ping and so
on.
How would I do this "right"?
On Linux, the simplest workaround (for OSPF problem) is just to add the
address to the dummy interface [*] instead of the loopback interface.
This looks promising.
Thanks a lot.
But you mentioned iBGP - in current stable version (1.2.5), iBGP
is significantly limited and should be used with one-hop,
directly reachable addresses. For proper iBGP, you should try git
version, or wait for 1.3.0 (which will be probably released 2011-04-01).
I'm not doing it (yet), it was more of an example where I'd use
loopbacks/dummies.
Thanks for the heads up though.
