[pmacct-discussion] Unable to specify "bgp_ip=::1" in bgp_agent_map

[Charlie Smurthwaite]

Hi,

I am running pmacctd with 2 BGP sessions to a local bird instance, one
for IPv4 and one for IPv6. I have written a bgp_agent_map a follows:

bgp_ip=127.0.0.1 ip=0.0.0.0/0 filter='ip'
bgp_ip=::1   ip=0.0.0.0/0 filter='ip6'

Unfortunately, the second line fails to parse. The error is:

WARN ( default/core ): [/etc/pmacct/bgp_agent_map:2] required key
missing. Required keys are: 'id', 'ip'. Line ignored.

I have tried various other IPv6 addresses in place of "::1" and they
work, but "::1" and "0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1" will not work. I have tested this
on 1.6.1 and master. Is this a bug?

Thanks!
Charlie

I am fairly sure these prefixes are being exported by my bird instance,
but don't seem to reach the AS table in pmacctd.

Is there an obvious reason for this, and/or a workaround I could use to
resolve my own prefixes to my AS number?


I've figured this out. I was running bird and pmacctd on the same host.
pmacctd's internet bgp was rejecting routes with a next-hop attribute of
127.0.0.1. Overriding this to another arbitrary address allows the
routes to be accepted and resolved to the correct AS.

[pmacct-discussion] BGP and own AS
