hi

My system is Ubuntu 13.04, kernel version is 3.8.0-21-generic, bird version is 1.3.10.

I want to achieve lo: 0 (eg: 192.168.1.1/32) address as the route-id of the device, while learning through ospf routing protocol ip address to manage the device through this ip address.

Configured as follows:

1: I'm on a device configured lo:0 interface address:

ifconfig lo:0 192.168.1.1/32

root @ sr1 :/ usr / local / bird # ifconfig lo:0

lo: 0 Link encap: Local Loopback

          inet addr: 192.168.1.1 Mask: 0.0.0.0

          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU: 65536 Metric: 1

2: The bird in the configuration is as follows:

In direct proto configured lo: 0 Interface

protocol direct {

interface "eth1", 192.168.1.1/32;

}

In the kernel configuration is as follows:

protocol kernel

{

# Learn; # Learn all alien routes from the kernel

# Persist; # Don't remove routes on bird shutdown

device routes;

scan time 15; # Scan kernel routing table every 15 seconds

import none; # Default is import all

export all; # Default is export none

# Kernel table 5; # Kernel table to synchronize with (default: main)

}

The problem is found in bird default route pointing to the interface, and the interface address lo not found in the routing table, and why?

bird> show interfaces

1001-lo up (index = 1)

1004 - MultiAccess AdminUp LinkUp Loopback Ignored MTU = 65536

1003 - 192.168.1.1 / 0 (Primary, scope univ)

     127.0.0.1 / 8 (Unselected, scope host)

root @ sr1 :/ usr / local / bird # birdc-v

0001 BIRD 1.3.10 ready.

bird> show route

1007-0.0.0.0 / 0 dev lo [direct1 16:55] * (240)

thanks.
