It seems that bird ignores any interfaces / ip addresses which have a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255. This seems to apply to both BGP as OSPF. An interface configured with A.B.C.D/E (E<32) seems to be picked up just fine, whereas configuring it A.B.C.D/32 and a route to A.B.C.D/E does not result in the interface to be picked.
BIRD definitely did not ignore interfaces with /32 mask, (for example, you can have BGP or OSPF link with peer addresses without any problems). But if you just add IP address with /32 mask (without specifying a peer address) and then add a device route for some other network, IP addresses from such network are not considered to be neighbors. I am not sure if that answers your questions.
I see. I currently worked around this, but as I have several nodes left to configure I'll give this (specifying the peer's address) a try and report back. Thanks for the pointer. Regards, Ruben Laban
