Hi,
I'm setting up bird6 as core IPv6 BGP router and in order to annunce my
subnet aggregated i used the blackhole method:
protocol static {
route 2a01:9c01::/32 drop;
}
but when i started bird i keep getting this error:
bird6: device1: Scanning interfaces
bird6: kernel1: Scanning routing table
bird6: kernel1: Pruning table master
bird6: kernel1: 2a01:9c01::/32: reinstalling
bird6: Netlink: No such device
bird6: kernel1: Pruning inherited routes
it seems that linux doesn't allow to set blackhole ipv6 routes without
specifing the device:
root@:~# ip -f inet6 route add blackhole 2a01:9c01::/32
RTNETLINK answers: No such device
if I append dev lo the route inserts without problems.
This error does not happen with reject and so
protocol static {
route 2a01:9c01::/32 reject;
}
works like a charm.
There is a way to solve this issue?
Or maybe you can consider allowing to specify device in route drop command.
Regards.
