Hello There are two things: 1) Your dummy0 interface seems to be down, that is a reason why static protocol didn't generate routes at first. I don't know if it is really down or just BIRD thinks that it is, you should check by 'show interfaces' and enable it by 'ip link set dummy0 up'. If that were IPv4, dummy0 could be up but without IP address so BIRD would consider it down, but for IPv6 there is usually link-local address so this is not an issue. 2) There is a bug in reconfiguration of static protocol that device routes are added regardless of whether interfaces are up or down. -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'SanTiago' Zajicek (email: [email protected]) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
