<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi,</div><div><br></div><div>I'm on Bird 2.0.8<br></div><div>The background is that I'm trying to configure link local BGP sessions towards Juniper switches.</div><div>I'm trying to follow the the documentation that indicates that it should be possible to define a interface. <br></div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://bird.network.cz/?get_doc&v=20&f=bird-6.html#ss6.4">https://bird.network.cz/?get_doc&v=20&f=bird-6.html#ss6.4</a></div><div><dl><dt><code>interface <em>string</em></code></dt><dd><p>Define interface we should use for link-local BGP IPv6 sessions.
Interface can also be specified as a part of <code>neighbor address</code>
(e.g., <code>neighbor fe80::1234%eth0 as 65000;</code>). The option may also be
used for non link-local sessions when it is necessary to explicitly
specify an interface, but only for direct (not multihop) sessions</p></dd></dl></div><div>Here is my config:<br><br>template bgp ebgp_client_v6 {<br> local as system_as_number;<br> ipv6 {<br> import all;<br> export filter export_bgp;<br> };<br> bfd graceful;<br> connect delay time 1;<br> connect retry time 5;<br> error wait time 1,5;<br> error forget time 10;<br>};<br><br>protocol bgp auto_disc_2 from ebgp_client_v6 {<br> interface "enp67s0f0np0";<br>};</div><div><br></div><div>and from my understanding it should be enough with just that. But I do get the error: </div><div>/etc/bird/peers.conf:53:1 Neighbor must be configured</div><div><br></div><div>I've also tried to add "neighbor as asn_of_neighbor;" To the config with the same results.</div><div><br></div><div>Any help would be much appreciated!</div><div><br></div><div>Br,</div><div>Sander</div></div>
