<p>Hi Lucas,<br>
<br>
just FYI the BMP protocol is kinda broken in v3.2, but we will
release fixup version v3.2.1 (and 3.1.6) in a week.<br>
<br>
If you wanted to try the fixes before the release you can download
the package for you distro from the artifacts in our CI pipeline.<br>

<br>
Happy routing,<br>
David</p>

<div>Hi Lucas,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have some working bgp sessions over link-local
addresses. Only that they are hand-configured, not
automatic ones. And I have bird2, not bird3. My config is
something like this:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>protocol bgp bgp_router_c6 {<br>
neighbor <a>fe80::2</a> as 65000;<br>
local <a>fe80::1</a> as 65000;<br>
interface "vlan100";<br>
direct;</div>
<div> strict bind yes;<br>
free bind yes;<br>
<br>
ipv6 {<br>
next hop keep; ...<br>
};<br>
}<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>"free bind" should not be necessary here, I think. Do
you have "protocol device" in your config?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Regards,</div>

I'm a member of the DN42 network, and I have a
mikrotik router connected to it, I've only have 1
peer and I'm receiving over MP-BGP IPv4 and IPv6
prefixes. Also on the mikrotik I'm running a
route-reflector.<br>
