<p>Therefore you can use import table, the only problem will be that if
you show routes from the import table, you should disregard what is
shown as the local nexthop.</p>

<p>The logs “Cannot reconfigure channel xxxx .ipv4” and “Cannot
reconfigure channel xxxx .ipv6” that are output when the import table on
<-> import table off setting is changed and the logs ” Restarting
protocol xxxx” logs, but does it mean that when the import table setting
is changed, a restart is performed?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Yes. You have to fill the table with something, and although it could
be technically possible to refill it just by requesting route refresh,
it seems that nobody actually implemented this fast track, so it’s
resolved by restarting the peer.</p>
<p>It should not be too difficult to implement, yet with the BIRD 3
upcoming (where the import table is implemented differently) this may
get a little bit trickier. If there is anybody willing to do it, just
let us know please to get some hints and directions.</p>
