I am in the initial build stages of a BIRD deployment for route control and black holing.

I built a couple functions that display the protocol info, etc.

When I add a route in the Ubuntu command line, I get this:

[ UBUNTU CLI ]

$ sudo ip route add blackhole x.x.x.x/32 protocol LOCAL realm 1020 scope Internet table 120

​Why doesn't the protocol variable update to the name of the BGP protocol in my config?​
