So I've just started using bird and just wanted to verify with you all what I'm seeing in RIPng. I've scoured the mailing list archives so I'm pretty sure this is the same bug that has been reported before but I figured I would just see if maybe I've actually got a misconfiguration instead.
protocol rip my_rip2 { table t5; import filter { print "importing"; accept; }; export filter { print "exporting"; accept; }; port 521; honor neighbor;
my_rip1: fe80::215:17ff:fe0d:86f4 send me routing info but he is not my neighbor I hadn't seen those messages turn up in anyone elses posts to the mailing list about RIPng so it's making me think I have a misconfiguration somewhere.
First, 'mode broadcast' cannot work with IPv6 (but BIRD should complain about bad config). Your messages are specific to 'honor neighbor' option, but the main problem is in RIPng implementation of BIRD (which is broken from the beginning). You can use attached patch to get RIPng work (at least on Linux, probably also with 'honor neighbor' option, but i didn't checked that). It contains the patch from Roman Hoog Antink [1], does not contain the patch from Goesta Smekal [2] (which is needed just for compatibily with other implementations), but it could be used simuntaneously.
